Hello

I have uneven tyre wear on the REAR of my Audi 80, its the nearside
tyre. One edge has plenty of tread left the other is well worn. Can you
tell me what is causing this.

Thanks

PROBABLY something is bent, a sideways slide into a kerb is the common cause 
(usually during icy weather)  or the car has had a crunch, but the 
suspension has not been checked.  careful checking with tape, spirit level, 
straight edge and string MAY show the misalignment, otherwise a good body 
shop will have the right gear to check it, likewise a few tyre places.

Bent suspension arm.

Probably caused by a bluddy gurt pothole or a kerb.

Possibly a worn wheel bearing.

No.

No one on here can tell you what is causing this, it could be one of many
things. The only way to find out is to have the bearings, bushes, and
shockers checked, then have the suspension geometry checked out.

They'll also cure that unsightly bulge in your wallet.

And you'll have to make two trips - the second to get them to assemble 
the top mount correctly.
