Hi All,

I've noticed that my front right tyre is wearing bad on the inner tread. I know that the problem could be my camber angle but is there anything else on the Z that goes which can cause this problem. Also when i have had to brake sharpe, i 'somtimes' get a rather large clunck from under the front of the car. Cheers ;)

Can be camber especially when lowered,also need to check tracking.

The clunk could be the front tie rod bushes wearing.HTH ;)

P.S If tie rod bush IS worn this could cause tyre wear on the one side.

or top link bushes - but they tend to cause wear on both shoulders

Thats when i noticed it; when i changed the tie rod bushes. They were fooked. Not sure if i may have solved the problem then? I will still get the camber done though. Cheers

Clunk is caused by tie-rod nuts not being tight enough where they bolt to the lower arm ;) They have to be seriously tight!!! ;)

I get the same thing on mine. The passenger tyre is wearing on the inside and I get a clunk when I suddenly change direction and it doesnt always have to be at high speed.

 

I think its the top link bushes on my car. I am planning on replacing them soon.
