G'day all,
Car: Ford Fairmont Ghia AUII Tickford VCT. I have had this persistent problem with the tyres, 215/60R, flaring the front wheel arches, both sides. The problem was evident when I bought the car 2nd hand nearly 4 years ago. It has happened with different brand tyres. In the photo you will notice the cut line/s on top of the tyre just near the corner, and down the face. This occurs in many places. I have attempted to mark the cut like with some (faint) arrows. As I am due for new front tyres soon, I am interested to know what may be causing this problem and how to avoid it happening again - Any ideas? Perhaps I am up for new Monroe GT Gas Struts (35-0447) as well as the tyres. If new struts, do I need the Monroe strut mates (SM001+) as well? Can gas struts be repaired/regassed insitu? Also, could raising the car at front, 10-20 mm, solve the problem? If so, how? Thanks from a total novice. Last edited by peterljohnson55; 07-02-2013 at 02:54 AM. |
