Hi everyone, tonight I noticed that my front drivers tyre in wearing the inside 15-20mm. Its down in this area in ~3000 miles. I have the car lowered and got the alignment down afterwards, its always pulled a little bit left when I let go the steering wheel but not noticable while holding onto it apart from not sitting 100% straight.

I have a old bar for alignment and the wheels seem to be pretty parrallel, maybe 1mm if that in it. I checked the camber and it also is very very close. I'm at a bit of a loss to the cause of this. The 2 front tyres that came on the car were fine from what I remember - I changed them when I bought the car.

Has anyone any idea as to what could be causing this? My car is a 07 Cupra.

The tyres are Michelin PS2's I've had them before on my Focus RS and they wore fine on it. The other side is fine.

Would a shock go after 34k?

What would be the best why of checking the bushes?

Michelin's use a very hard compound hence they last long, so doubt it's the tyre's to fault. A shock can go after 30k, depending how it's been driven all 4 could be worn at 30k, don't just change one shock through. .

I'm the 5th owner I think and I don't know where it was driven be previous owners - it may have been in an area near lots of speed bumps.
