Re: Noise, rear right tire, shocks? on potential purchase Posted by saabsince 93b [Email] (#972) [Profile/Gallery] (more from saabsince 93b) on Mon, 21 Oct 2013 14:26:49 In Reply to: Noise, rear right tire, shocks? on potential purchase, CASaab, Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:57:26 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Run you hand over the tread of the rear tire. See if you feel uneven wear which is usually "cupping". too much toe-in in the rear will cause cupping. My 2001 Aero did this and it took me a while fix the rear and I learned all this the hard way.
Could be that the rear springs are sacked or compressed so the ride height is not right and the rear tire is cupped because of too much toe-in in the rear.
the ride height in the rear should be 620mm on that car it is lower the camber and toe-in will increase and you may get uneven tire wear.
You need a ride height check and a maybe spacers on the rear springs and a complete alignment. then put on on 2 more new tires to match the others.
this is a relatively common problem after 60,000 miles or so.
