Tyre scrubbing

[Coyote SA Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Coyote SA]

Hi all,
Had my 02 TD Prado serviced last week and they told me that the front passenger tyre was scrubbing on the inside. I have had several wheel alignments and complained to Toyota about it and it still does it Their reply was that it is not a problem that they know of. Has anyone else had this problem and were you able to come up with a solution?

Thanks in advance

Coyote,
Who is doing the wheel alignment? a mechanic at the toyota dealership or a qualified wheel alignment specialist?. Blokes who know what they are doing and not just telling you what you want to hear are very few and far between.
Regards
Ben

Hi Ben,
Thanks for the reply.
The service was done by ARB and the next day I had new suspension put on by SA Suspension here in SA, King springs and Ironman shocks. They did the wheel alignment and they found that there was considerable toe out. They could not find anything wrong other than that setting.
I had the alignment done by Complete Laser Alignment in Regency Park, they are a specialist truck and 4wd aligners and they found the same problem when they did the alignment. So, sorry for the tale but I guess the answer to your question is, Qualified wheel alignment specialist.
