ok for those of you who wanted pictures here they are. for some reason they dont look as bad in fotos, but close up they do!
pic 1 & 2. see the right hand side of the tyres to see how much its worn compared to the left


and pic 3 i tried to show the wear again, it is on the marker on the right hand side, but plenty of wear on the left.


ignore the yellow pen, i wanted them marked so that they wernt thrown out at the garage as scrap, as i wanted them for evidence if it happens again!!

tracking is fine on the front and you cant track rear wheels. and according to ford there is no fault. but they lie. and no i'm not a nutter. ask anybody who i met up with a couple of month ago. scott will vouch for that! i am a sensible driver!

Find a place with a four wheel geometry test then send the evidence to Ford.

The only thing is they will say it could have been knocked out by road damage. Even though it would have taken a hefty whack to put it out of alignment.

If the alignment is all ok a mis-torqued wheel nut could cause uneven tyre wear.

is a four wheel geometry test the same as a four wheel laser alignment test? as its already had that done. its on both side of the car at the rear so it can't have been road damage unless something strange has happened. it both rear tyres that are done not just 1. anyways i cant be bothered arguing anymore with ford as im going on holiday soon and havent got the time. its got new tyres on so that will see me till i get back then im going to torment them again!

File a lawsuit for sexual harrasment. I bet that would make them take you seriously!
