2005 Range Rover Vogue Td6 Buckingham Blue

One rear tyre wearing on edge

Hi
I've a 2005 Td6 Vogue and even with proper tracking it always wears the rear left tyre about an inch or more in from the outside edge.
None of the other tyres do this at all. Tracking is always perfect for its annual test too.
Rear bushes and suspension is all good so I'm a bit puzzled why one tyre wears on the edge?

Anyone ever seen this before and any idea as to the cause and the solution? Right now I have swapped the 2 rear tyres just to even out the wear a bit.

Also even aside from that I do notice that the rears wear a lot quicker than the fronts. I would have thought the fronts would wear first due to steering.

Many thanks.

Pat

Have you checked the camber of the rear wheels (angle relative to vertical)?
I had 1 rear tyre wearing like that - caused by excessive camber on 1 wheel.
On our vehicle it was caused by very worn bushes, but it could also be caused by changing bushes & not optimising the camber afterwards or not installing the the cam bolts in the same position as before the bush change. Paul,

You say tracking.

Maybe a proper 4 wheel alignment is needed Remember:- amateurs built the ark

As nearlee said, tracking is front wheels only and typically just toe. It may be that you mean 4 wheel alignmnet but f you don't its a totally different animal, laser alignment of all 4 wheels for toe, camber, caster.

I changed the rear bushes on my TD6 and it wore the outer edge in a matter of weeks before I could get the 4 wheel alignment done

Hi Pawl

Thanks for that. I did have bushes changed a good while back but it looks like one tyre was wearing even before I bought it a few years back. The guy that did the alignment is the best locally. Laser 4 wheel alignment and he's underneath with a screen. I couldn't say about cam bolts but would they be adjusted as part of the alignment? Thanks.

Hi Nearlee

Oops that's what I meant. 4 wheel alignment with lasers on each wheel.

It's a puzzle alright.

Hi Paul

Thanks for that. Yeah I did mean 4 wheel alignment with lasers. The guy is underneath and has a screen. First he inputs make, model and size of alloys. I'm just wondering if the figures from LR are correct that they send out for castor, camber etc.

Mine isn't wearing that quickly but it is noticeable.

Thanks.

If it has been checked with 4 wheel alignment. can you share the detail results for rear toe & camber? Paul,

Hi Pawl

I just found a report from the previous visit, but the same guy and I'd say the same values.
It does look though like the one tyre was wearing on the edge even before I bought it.

Not sure how much sense the 3 page report makes, but I am trying to attach it.

Many thanks.
