got some serious tyre wear on the inside of my front tyres, wheels wobble when braking also

 

question is i have fitted some energy suspention bushes in the tension rods maybe 8 years ago will these have worn out causing the wobble??

 

standard suspension with 18's

 

have done a search found that the old suspention may have sagged and camber will need correcting, i will need to check iirc

 

bottom arm bush

king pin

top link

track rod end

 

car will need to be checked for alignment toe in out ect

 

anyone else have an idea what to check

I'd get your geometry checked by a proper pro. I can recommend TDI North in Warrington, who aren't 'too' far from N.Wales. The likes of Protyre etc just won't suffice. While they're under the car, they can have a look at everything else for you.

 

As for the wear on the inside, that's down to running alot of camber. Sacrificing some of this will allow the tyres to wear more evenly, but you'll sacrifice some amount of grip in the corners.

 

Not too sure about the wobbling under braking, other than incorrect tyre pressure and possibly warped disks too. Jack the back of the car up, handbrake off and check for binding as you rotate the wheels. Again, this will be much easier if the car is on a lift. A poor alignment setup won't help though.

 

Are your bushes polyurethane? If so, I've never heard of these wearing, even after 8 years. Did you get the geometry setup after you fitted the bushes?
