GQ scrubbing the front tyres of BAD

Post by cookieGQ »

Guys,

Looking for a bit of help my GQ is lifted 5" springs 2" and runs 35" Baja claws, I brought it lifted etc, it has the castor plates on the front but i am still scrubbing out the front tyres,

To look at them it looks as if the tyres aren't running truely flat to the ground and as thou they are only running on the inside of the tyre.

Any ideas on how i can fix this i have spoken to a tyre/ wheel aligment guy (who is a dick mind you) and he said it happens to all jacked up nissans

Any help would be sweet as my front tyres are just about shot and idon't rely wanna put another set on and stuff them 2

cheers

sounds like either your diff is bent or too much toe out , as normally its the outside edges of the tyre that wear

if this prob wasnt there before you played with the wheel bearing id double check them to make sure they are still tight, it doesnt sound like toe out will be your prob unless youve been playin with your wheel alingment at the same time,

Take it for a wheel alignment, you could have a bent diff and a lot of camber happening.

Wheel alignment printout will be able to point out whats going wrong.

On my GQ when i got it i didnt notice the bent diff housing until i fitting the 35's. Wheel alingment didnt show it up but was making the tyre scrub on the body only on one side.

Also if the old owner offered you a Diff housing it sounds like he knew about it!!!!!!!
