Diagonal tire wear and possible cause - Toyota Yaris Forums

mrrallysti · 11-06-2012, 08:25 PM

Does anyone know what this is from? It's more on the rear left and I barely start to see the rear right doing the same.

They are stock tires with just tein s-techs.

-New tires is an obvious
-Should I get another wheel alignment?
-New struts/shocks?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Derrick. I was thinking of going tokico blues all around, 2 new tires and a wheel alignment.

My guess is that it is a problem with the toe. The rear tires are being driven into each other.

What do you recommended? I thought toe adjustment was in the front and camber was in the front and rear? Thanks

If the car was in an accedent I could see maybe the control arm may have been bent causing toe issues. Are you the only owner of this car are did you buy it used? I say because maybe the owner had a accident that he/she wasnt honest about.

If you can, look under the car at the shock, do a visual on it and see if there are signs of fluid leaking from it. OR, you can push on the rear bumper really hard to get the car to bounce. if the left bounces more then the right, you will have your answer also

It needs a four wheel alignment by somebody that is will ing to do a good job. The rear hubs can be shimmed to point the wheels in the right direction.
