So i bought a mk1 laguna for going to work in to save putting the miles on my low mileage K10 Micra, the laguna had 3 worn tyres, the edges on the front tyres, and the passenger rear was polished on the edge, the passenger rear i thought had maybe been switched from the front but now I'm unsure, ive had the tracking done and the front is now sorted. The toe on the rear passenger side reads if i get this right 0*16 I'm guessing this is miles out on that side, thing is the rear aint adjustable on these cars so what could cause it to be out so i can try and sort the prob. Thankyou
P.S i don't understand toe and camber and castor ect

if its 16minutes of toe in at the back, that is fine and helps prevent most cars being oversteering beasts that the general public can't cope with think there's only two bushes on the rear suspension on the mk1 laguna, may be they are worn out unless something is bent

I had a car into a place with a Hunter alignment unit the other week and they keep a selection of bent and damaged bits to show people that were causing tyre wear problems so the above suggestion about a bent bit might be worth checking.
I wish I'd been paying more attention now but they pointed out loads of parts from the middle-sized VW range (VWs, Audis, Skodas) that share a lower front suspension design and there's a particular component that's easily damaged and introduces a big toe in.

Hi chaps not sure if its toe in or out, rear passenger is 0.16 where the drivers side is 0.02 so i guess something is worn on the passenger side, the cars tidy low mileage for its age and shows no sign of damage, il take off the wheel when i get 5 mins and see if theres anything obvious the stands out, the chap that did the tracking said its likely a bush but i thought it was maybe quite a bit out just to be a bush but I'm no expert.
