I have a 07 plate galaxy MkIII and all the tyres are wearing out unevenly. Ive had the tracking done by ATS twice,QwickFit and Ford main dealer. The vehicle still pulls to the left!!! Ford told me it was the camber of the road? Qwickfit told me the problem was speed (not enough)?? Can anyone help please..

The comments by Ford and ATS sound like you're being fobbed off. The camber in the road is true to a degree but that still doesn't explain why the car pulling to the left is worse than any other car or why you're getting uneven tyre wear. The next thing I would try is a 4 wheel alignment incase it's the rear wheels that are out of line and are pushing the car to the left - see the thrust angle section of the following web site for a very basic overview http://www.familycar.com/alignment.htm

How are your tyres wearing? Not sure I can help much more but the way the four tyres are wearing may give a clue to what's going on. Edited by Andrew Chick
