Under inflation. When the tire doesn't have enough air pressure, the center tends to be pushed up from the road. Thus causing outer wear on both sides. alignment problems cause wear on one side or the other. Over inflation causes the center of the tire to wear .
the camber has to be adjusted on an wheel alignment machine. after that is adjusted, then the "toe in" is adjusted. You cant adjust one with affecting the other. but camber has to be done first.
2.5 degrees negative camber is not within spec. You need new control arms in the rear. These will set your camber back to the factory setting and reduce your tire wear on the inner edge. The first shop you went to is correct, the camber cannot be adjusted, components must be replaced to rectify the excessive camber. Ive done a couple of New Style C70 rear control arms for this very reason, if your vehicle is under warranty however, the dealer needs to be able to prove that the car needs it. So if you dont have wear on your tires and when the toe was set it readjusted the camber (when you adjust toe it affects camber and caster measurements) then they cant prove to Volvo that it needs the control arms. I hope this helps
was your car in a wreck since you have own it? that would be the only way anyone could bend steering or suspension parts.if your tires are leaning out on top, it would be a part called"lower control arm assembly", if you stand in front of your car with the steering wheel straight,and your tires are pointing in on each side,or pointed out instead of straight,that would be a "tie rod " there is an inner tie rod and an outer tie rod end. you need to take your car to a shop that does alignments,and have them tell you exactly what is wrong,you can even get lower control arm assemblies from a salvage yard.but do yourself a favor and don't take your car to a MONROE or MIDAS type shop,they are only there to sell and make commissions! Find a normal shop that the owner is the mechanic.
Hello there: The only possibility is that you need a camber adjustment. If
that were the case, the tires would be wearing more on the inside
edges. If they're not, either ease up on the gas a little bit, or just
put $2 a week in a piggy bank for your next set of rear tires, and
don't worry about it. the tires that come with this car are made of a relatively soft
compound. The softer the rubber, the goo-ier the tires, and the more
the car "sticks" to the road. That's one of the reasons you can drive
down circular parking garage ramps at 65 mph in this car. The downside
of softer tires is that they wear out faster. So it may be a
combination of your driving and the type of tires you have.
Might want to check your camber adjustments and look into shocks and struts. They could all be worn out but prolly the camber is off causing abnormal road noise and abnormal tire wear
this is a wheel camber (in and out tilt of wheel and tire) problem, u may have to have a Camber adjustment kit put in, most new cars have no adjustment provided for this. the bottom line here is you need to see a really good front end shop to get this taken care of, also the tires will continue to wear this way even if problem is corrected, so may want to replace them or rotate them.
