Reply to "Rear Wheels Leaning In?"

Charlie,

I saw some pictures years ago of a white 5-S with the right rear inner tire so prematurely worn, that the belts were hanging out! The tread on the other side of the tire looked good. It was on a flatbed.

There were also pictures of the lower control arm on that side that had pulled the bolts through the frame rail. It did not look pretty. Was that your car?

In any event, thank God that didn't happen to you on the road!

At some time in it's life, my 5-S had a modification performed on it that addressed this problem before it happened. Plates were welded along the inside of the frame rails where the control arms bolt through to strengthen these areas. I will inspect those areas just to make sure they aren't failing.

Thanks for the suggestion, Charlie.
