Rich Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I've had everything off suspension/steering wise from the front and I'm planing on fitting lowering springs, replacing the track rod ends and I will probably be getting new driveshaft/cv joints if it isn't my diff that is going. I probably won't have everything done for a month or so, maybe longer and I'm going on holiday in 3-4 weeks. I think I will cover about 1000 miles by the time I get another geo done. So how long does it take for signs of tyre wear to start showing? I would have obviously lost my fine tune settings but if the car doesn't pull or drift could I still get some uneven wear? I know there is no definate answer but I'm just curious so I have an idea of how long to leave it before I get the geo done again. The tyres on the front are fairly new and I don't wanna start seeing bald edges etc. The rears are down to 2-3mm so if I put these on the front and the new ones on the rear would they still wear as I haven't done any work on the rear yet?

Tony Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/forum/ind...ost&p=11159 3 Weeks old. Mark you are spot on if the car was a Lexus. Fortunately this is a Mondeo and does not have adjustable camber and so on.... So Mr E/R since the angles are captive within the constructive chassis the error should be minimal but not final... I suggest you concentrate on getting the car mobile... go enjoy your holiday then bring her back to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell But there was something faulty on the car in this case, I've replaced/am upgrading everything so it shouldn't get as bad as that surely... Mark you are spot on if the car was a Lexus.

I suggest you concentrate on getting the car mobile... go enjoy your holiday then bring her back to me Think I remember you mentioning that when I had the geo done last year. I'm not bothered if I get abit of wear as I'll just swap them for the rears when I've replaced them. Don't know why but everything happens before I go away, first the subframe problem, then I think it was the CV joint and then the current problem!!
