Rear Suspension Tracking
« on: September 18, 2010, 04:40:34 PM »
My rear nearside suspension strut was replaced a couple of years ago and ever since there has been accelerated wear on the outside edge of the tyre. How do you adjust the tracking? I presume outside edge wear indicates the wheel is pulled too far 'in'?

Depends on the year,

Some have adjustable rear track rods, others (later models I think) the bottom bolt holding the hub to the strut is eccentric so you slacken off the nuts and rotate the bolt using the slim hex section you should be able to see between the track rod and the strut body.
