Severe wear on outside edge of passenger rear tyre only

BlakeS94

Hi all,

As title states, my girlfriends car has severe tyre wear on the outside edge of only the passenger rear tyre, I don't know what could be causing this but the last 2 tyre changes and the same thing has happened to the same spot of the same corner.

Car is tracking perfectly straight, tyre pressures are checked and corrected regularly and are never 2-3 psi from where they should be.

Haven't really checked it out just yet, by I'm guessing suspension defects, could bad shocks and/or coil springs cause this kind of wear? Or maybe a trailing arm?

Car is a 2010 Suzuku Alto SZ4.

Don't have any printed results but it was 4 wheel aligned at the last tyre change and all was good

The picture is not related by the issue, only leaking strut, rust and something more leaking. If something does not rubbing the tyre (like liner) then you need wheel alignment. Why tyre shop did not address the issue for you? or you just ignored their sales pitch? Look closer the entire rear passenger side suspension. If something need to replacement, it is right thing to do before alignment.

Used to happen on our Renault Modus.

One lad said it was Roundabouts.

The tyres were narrow enough for a tall car like it

You say its tracking straight but have you any results from a 4 wheel alignment? The wheel could be toed in or have positive camber

Pic wouldn't attach, took another of the shock absorber and it did attach above. Could this be why tyre is facked?

Shock absorber on that side looks like it's leaking a lot, could that be the cause?
