Hi all,

I am trying to find the reason why my front tires show excessive wear on the
outsides.
Wheel alignment you say.  I had it done when I bought the new tires about 3
years ago. I don't drive the van very much so I haven't rotated the tires
yet.  I just checked the wheel alignment myself as best as I could.  I
carefully measured on a level garage floor, after bouncing the front end a
few times:  toe in measures 5 mm , and the camber is about 0 degrees.  Both
are within the tolerances in the specs.  The van steers perfectly on the
highway, with no pulling to the side or vibrations or other unwanted
effects.

I also noticed that my other car, not a VW,  has a negative camber of
several degrees, and with no uneven tire wear.  This car has McPhearson
struts though, does that make the difference?

All this has me puzzled.
Is there anyone on the list that can shed some light on this problem?
