Last weekend found my left rear tyre makan dalam very bad. Other 3 tyre still in good running conditions. Feedback from few friend suggested to check the rear link arms. Maybe one of the damaged. How evel last year I have change both lower arm the longer and bend one.

Some history of both rear tyre. Tyre brand Archilles ATR Sport 245/40/R18. I changed on 28 Sept 2013 and I have cover 47K Km. As I'm remember, I naver do any aligmnet on my car, because it's drive straight even after changed suspension and lower arm. Only doing couple of wheel ballancing.

Suprizingly both front tyre still okay. Brand new when I purchase this car (change by the car dealer). Brand YOKOHAMA S drive 245/40/R18 made in JAPAN

For this tyre changed I did it at Shah Alam Tyre (Jeff King of Rims). Few BMWCM members also go to this shop as well

The mechanic at this shop said to me, they only can know and sure if any my rear damage from aligement machine reading. But physically we cannot found any bushing damage or any lower arm loose.

Car at aligment amchine and doing setup for tyre aligment.

 

[UnoS]

Aligment data before adjustment.



Aligment data after adjustment. Camber adjusted as well.



I do not know how to interpret the data. But the mechanic said now more balance left and right. Left rear wheel angle also reduce.
I hope this time, this tyre not makan dalam lagi..
