Mondeo Estate - Uneven Tyre Wear

[PhilWis]

Hi There,
I have a 5 year old Mondeo Estate. The back wheel tyres always seem to suffer from uneven tyre wear - the inside of the tyre.

I don't carry particularly heavy loads - just use the car for normal social & domestic etc.

Is there anything that could be causing this in terms of the back wheels and how they're set up?

Thanks
Wizzer

Have you had the wheel alignment checked at your favourite tyre fitters ?

No one's ever suggested this? Does it apply as much to the rear wheels as the front?

have the rear camber and toe checked. iirc they are adjustable. get a garage that can do full 4 wheel geometry, not just tracking.

Yeah, think it can be....other than that I would have the rear suspension checked....I guess any excessive play could cause this.

Also make sure the rear wheel bearings are not loose or excessively worn.
