Hi Guys,

Please help before I go & spend any more money on this. LS400 - recently had Lexus Teesside ensure that the wheels had proper camber adjustment & then had Kwick-Fit ensure tracking was OK . This summer notices that one front tyre was worn on the outer rim down to the metal & the other was also wearing badly on the outer rim.

So, who's at fault? The camber adjustment or the tracking? The camber work cost £200+!! and now I've a ruined tyre. No problems before having that work done ( leave well alone-eh? )

Any advice would be appreciated - friend suggested a 4-wheel alignment??

Thanks in advance.

JohnMck.

I HAVE JUST REBUILT THE FRONT SUSPENSION ON MY 93 LS400 AND THEN TOOK IT TO WIM AND HE SORTED THE GEOMETRY FOR ME AND ONLY CHARGED £85 +VAT. THE CAR IS A DELIGHT TO DRIVE NOW, AND TONY REALLY DOES KNOW HIS ONIONS ON THIS TYPE OF AJUSTMENT, IT MIGHT BE A BIT OF A TREK TO HIM BUT IT WILL BE THE BEST MONEY THAT YOU WILL SPEND ON THE CAR BELIVE ME.

WIM has been a great help & my public thanks to him for his replies. Have taken the issue back to Teesside Lexus who have agreed to re-do the 4-wheel alignment for free as a good-will genture. I'm content with that despite having lost a perfectly good front tyre. Let's hope that it's done right this time!!

Cheers & thanks for replies.
