Tramlining

[howardm]

Hi

Anybody experienced acute tramlining in a Rav.?

I have checked all the joints and found no play, tyre pressures are spot on, no sign of uneven tyre wear.

What else is there.?

get it checked by laser alignment - maybe cost £120 but well worth it - I've used it a few times !

Oh right. No not experienced SEVERE tram lining. Has it got the original wheels and tyres?

[pgp001]

It has got original wheels and tyres but not all the same size.

The fronts are 3.50 x 19" which were fitted on the earlier models, but I am running the later type 4.00 x 17" on the back which makes it handle a bit better ("bit" being the operative word !) The outside diameter of the tyres is the same.

I have started a new topic so as not to hijack this one.

Thanks for the input guys, I don't think its the tracking, but I'll have a look.

I am running a bog standard 3 door 4.2 2005 XTR.

Must be a rubber bush or something.
