Bent radius arm?

[minisprint]

Or incorrect geometry, subframe been replaced

[Orange-Phantom]

I wouldn't say that was legal. Would you seriously want to run that tyre in the wet?

[mpain94]

The other side has nearly all of it's tread, I don't think the subframe has been replaced. Think Radius arm seems most likely, thanks for replies

may be just the radius arm needs a new bush , a ream & some grease

 

but all the above are possibility's as well

 

jack the rear up & look for wear / clearance in the wheel / radius arm area -

 

try to move the wheel by holding the tyre at the 9 - 3 o'clock position & moving it left & right

 

what is the condition of the subframe ?

[mpain94]

The subframe is fine, will get one fitted tomorrow and check radius arm soon.

Illegal AND unsafe.

That tyre is down to the tear wear markings so needs changing, as it's past being rotated on the rim to wear out the good side.

 

 

Could be down to anything like a bent subframe, radius arm, worn bearings/bushes or even bad welding. Or if you drive round Milton Keynes a lot, over enthusiastic corning on roundabouts.....
