My 740 diesel estate volvo had the nearside track control joint replaced a year ago.I now notice wear to the extreme outside edge of the tyre.It is as if the main tread has only light contact and the edge has full contact. Is this simply a matter of tracking or is it the inevitable result of having a heavy car with power steering living in a cul de sac!! ( Constant 3 point turns etc). If tracking is at fault would this mean shortening the rod connection or lenthening it to compensate.I know i could go to kwik fit and pay £25 + vat for him to pronounce and "fix" but I have found out in the past you never know if its been done right until 6 months down the line you see more wear and of course the fitter then disclaims responsibility.
