Wheel wear inner edge

[Mitchh]

So, once you sort this out, don't go back to that tyre shop...

Assuming the balance is now right, two things to check

Have they lost your hub centric rings?
Only applies if you are using after market wheels with a different hub diameter

Need to check the wheels for lateral run out which will cause vibration

(I guess it's possible you may have a bad wheel bearing - which would be unusually early)

A wheel alignment won't fix a vibration

Thanks for the reply

Yeah definetally wont be going back, even though i have had no bad experiences there before.

Standard wheels, so no centric rings

Lateral run out may be possible, there is rust on the wheel hubs, should i try and take the rust off myself with some emery paper?

26,000km on the car, and there is a bit of tyre noise as speed increases. The old tyres did that too... Maybe it is a wheel bearing, but i would assume that the noise would be a LOT worse than what i am hearing if a wheel bearing is bad enough to cause a serious wobble.

Do you know of good tyre shop in the illawarra area?

Thank again

A medium sized wire brush (Josco from Bunnings - in the tool secton) on a drill is the easy and gentle way to clean the hub face

The wheel bearings should be fine at that mileage - and they have to be pretty shot for people to notice
Some tyres make more noise than others and these cars don't have great noise insulation

I live in Sutherland and have always got good service from Kar Pro in Sutherland
(They have a Miranda outlet - I've never used that outlet)
Great Deals on New Tyres in Sydney for Small, Medium, Family, Performance, 4 Wheel Drive Cars.

Failing that, Pedders in Taren Point provide a consistent service
Pedders Taren Point - suspension, shock absorbers, brakes

Avoid Jax - very variable and pain in the arse
Worst example is a friend getting new tyres, drove away, didn't get out of their lot and onto the road, wheel came off
