patchy inner rear tire wear


Recommended Posts

just want to get some u guys opinions on whats causing my rear tires to wear in patches on the inner side of the tire and my rear tires are really noisy well now i know why. i went down to bob jane t marts and they reckon i need new shocks, my car is lowered 1 and half inches, i was thinking if i need to replace my shocks replace them with kybs.

Yep your rear shocks are stuffed. The patchy tyre wear is from the tyre bouncing off the road on bumps as the shocks cannot control the rebound.

some guy that put my Konis in also said i have a flat spot in my rear tyre. that could be caused by the exact same reason Silva stated, stuffed stock shocks. now my wheel balance is all over the place because of that, steering vibartes at 120km/h and above. i initially thought it was the front brakes locking up when i tracked the car that caused the flat spot.

yeh i had pedders look at my shocks and yep the front and back shocks are stuffed now i have to buy 2 brand new tires and get both front and back shocks replaced...damnit and i was going to buy a cai too.

im gona get a 2nd opinion with my springs coz the dude at pedders reckons my springs werent installed properly like the thread ontop of the whole strut assembly arent equally the same height (the center thread visible in the engine bay once u take the cap off from the suspension strut) im going to get my shocks replaced from where i got my car lowered...but if he did a dodgy job i aint going back to him.

ive had my stock shocks with my lowered springs now for about say a yr and a half.
