Re: rear tyers scrubbing on the inside
and if it's not been lowered more than 3" you should seriously consider a pair of new shocks if it is scrubbing....
Re: rear tyers scrubbing on the inside
worn bushes could cause this, or a previous shunt which has bent something subtley so you can't tell its happened. If it was a 360 I'd say the car had been ragged and the rear axle has bent, causing excessive toe-in but the 340s don't have the power to do it I don't think.
Re: rear tyers scrubbing on the inside
its lowerd by 3inch there is alot off camber on the wheels, i think it could be the axle not sitting in stright or something its really annoying tho cheerrs joe

Re: rear tyers scrubbing on the inside
To be fair they should not be scrubbing. Do they scrub whilst driving or just over bumps?

Re: rear tyers scrubbing on the inside
You can come round and sort mine out then.
Re: rear tyers scrubbing on the inside
how exactly did you do that? I had never thought hitting the rear axle with a hammer would straighten it. The springs just seem to take up the shock, and you can't get a good swing with a sledge hammer really.
And believe me 1.4 340s do have the power to bend their rear axle for toe-in, you just need good enough tyres and give her plenty of revs.
I'm thinking a slice through the tube 90% with a big angle grinder, then hammer, but with precision measurement to check the alignment. Followed by welding back up again.

Re: rear tyers scrubbing on the inside
I thought he just meant he hammered the arches out to stop it rubbing?
Re: rear tyers scrubbing on the inside
Yer i just hammerd the arch out a bit and fiddled about with the leaf springs not sure if that did anything tho.

Re: rear tyers scrubbing on the inside
After measuring yesterday I take back the request for a good hammering. My wheels appear to be parallel, its just the astras impact on the arch that makes it look bad.
