Posted 30/10/04 11:20 PM Share Posted 30/10/04 11:20 PM WTF?!!I've just had to fit another set of rears to the T, they were scrubbed down to sweet FA, same as last time, No, it's not from burnouts either. First time I had the tyres done they said the rear alignment was way out, OK I can cope with that but it's fixed now isn't it? Apparently not, the rear alignment was out even more than before this time, had it adjusted again but I don't think I like the idea of new tyres every 12,000k!! Anyone else had similar dramas??

Mostly straight roads I'd assume. If the alignment is out again there is obviously some problem. Have a really good check for any loose mounts including worn rubbers. You might have to replace the rubbers with nolathane as a last resort. This may also be why you are getting that floatiness at high speed. It could be back end movement steering the car.

Its not often I dont use full acceleration or hard braking. Dont really do burnouts or similar though. (Only done maybe 3 in 2 years, and they were not serious ones).Im on my 3rd set in 24,000km.
