Steering

There is a bit of negative camber on the rear, just on the tolerance of the alignment. So the Yoko's are probably slightly worn on the inside. I've put the (new) Toyo's back on the front, so back to steering to the left slightly!

Don't really want to have to buy 2 new tyres when the Toyo's are brand new, but I want my steering wheel straight!

Might get a KDS done, don't really fancy paying the money for it though

as Gorbash says the KDS is very expensive. Try Progrip in Bonnybridge (Big Gordy knows the owner). They do laser wheel alignment and not that far from you...:approve:

How much is a KDS, thinking i may need one done lol

Yep, been at Progrip, and the alignment came back fine...

Dunno if this will be of any use, but I've noticed when changing wheels around before that the front left WILL ALWAYS wear faster that the front right (cos of the effects of torque steeer I assume - I may be wrong), and both fronts obviously wear a lot faster than the rears... If there's some camber on the rears which has made them wear down a little bit faster on one edge, could this plus the factor of the front left wearing a wee bit more have anything to do with it? Just by throwing the geometry out a tiny little bit?
Obviously you can't check this by swappeing them left/ right since they're directional...

Mind you, with new tyres, I doubt this could really be a theory..
