L400 alignment specs

Rural · Post by **Rural** » Tue Jun 14, 2016 9:17 am

My 1995 L400 has always had an issue where the front left tire wears unevenly. The inside wears much more than the outside. In the past, the tire shop recommended a four-wheel balance to help. I didn't expect my Delica to last long enough for this to become an issue. However, despite rotating the tires every other oil change, it is now time for new tires.

My tire shop had a quick look at the suspension and noticed that one of the tie-rod ends has some play. That probably isn't helping the situation. We'll take care of that with a new tie-rod end when we switch out the tires. Unfortunately, they can't find alignment specifications.

I've looked in the technical library here, but if anything related to alignment is there, I missed it. Is there a better place to look for alignment specifications? Or am I even using the right terminology?

Thanks Big-Bird. I'll put it that alignment specs to use as soon as I get my hands on a pair of tie-rod ends.

Thanks for this info BB.

Now for a loaded question, Who in Calgary would you recomend for a wheel alignment on a l400?

If you have excessive wear on one side of your tire, especially the inboard side of the tire, it is likely that your wheel bearings are worn out. They can be excessively worn without making noise and cause side wear on your tires.

Thats good to know, What if the tire is wearing more on the outside?
