Reply to "Alignment and unusual front tire wear..."

As George says your camber is out. This is really easy to adjust if you have a camber lock kit or weld one on like I do. If you dont have a camber lock kit you can still do it but it takes longer and is very hit and miss. I hate the original set up because it's so crude and can get knocked out when you hit a bump. I use an old Dunlop camber gauge like this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dunlop-C...&hash=item2a0ffb6c7f
It's as old as the hills but I still see them being used on the latest cars in the pits at Le Mans.

I agree with Mikael, investing in some alignment equipment is a great idea. Most of it is actually quite simple. I bought an old pair of Tecalemit tracking gauges and updated them with a £2 laser pen. I mounted the pen on an adjustable platform to calibrate the gauges and now get super accurate results.

I also use a spirit level with a laser in the end of it to do 4 wheel alignment. With the advent of cheap laser stuff and digital spirit levels anyone can make there own alignment equipment and often completely change the way their car drives. My car drives the best it's ever driven since I took an interest in alignment.
