WEAR ON FRONT END TIRES
Posted by james on August 17, 2006
I PURCHASED A 2005 MOTOR HOME WITH A FORD CHASSIS AND AT 6,300 MILES MY G670RV 12 PLY TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WEAR ON THE INSIDE OF TIRE. WHEN ALIGNED IT WAS REPORTED TO BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT BY 1″. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.?I DID NOT NOTICE ANY PULL, DEALER SAID HE ALIGNED PRIOR TO DELIVERY TO ME??
What does 1" out of alignment mean? One inch of toe-out? If tires were worn on the inside, this is probably what the problem was. Too much toe-in might not make the motorhome pull, it just create a lot of scrubbing as you drive straight down the road. How did this happen? 1) the dealer really didn't align the motorhome, 2) the dealer aligned it incorrectly, 3) something was not tightened so, it moved after aligment, or 4) you struck something (pothole?) hard enough to knock it out of alignment
