off-side rear tyre outer edge is wearing a bit quick, has anyone any suggestions? Thanks again guys!

This is due to excessive positive camber. Or there could be wear in a bush,or even a faulty shock absorber.

I'd suggest getting all the suspension parts on the rear axle checked out first, then a full four wheel alignment, especially if any work was needed on the suspension/bushes etc.

This does require some investigation,as you will be down on grip,and may affect the handling of your bongo

Many thanks, Bongo booked in to our garage for a check-up!

It's zero toe-in for the front wheels in relation to the rears Brookie

And the camber can be adjusted by undoing the bolt at the knuckle,then physically moving the angle of the shock absorber.

The caster angle can't be adjusted.

Good luck, keep us posted?

you would also get that effect if you go round corners on two wheels
