Tracking Or Suspension ?

[Guest stevew]

Can anyone give us a clue ? When I reverse into a right hand bend , ( ie like when you reverse into a 't' junction to turn around & travel back down the road you've just come from ) , I sometimes get a thumping noise as though I've just reversed over a pile of bricks on the off side.Also about 1" on the inner offside tyres' getting exesivly worn. There's no obviouse play in any of the bushes or the offside bearing & the C.V. joint doesn't seem to have any wear . I've had it down to a local garage & they can't pinpoint any thing & can only sugest I get the tracking & geometry checked by a specialist useing lasers. There isn't the usual 'cracking' noise you expext from C.V. joints & it only gives a problem when reversing in that direction .! :angry:

This happened to me on Friday. Unfortunately I had reversed over a pile of bricks, in the form of a low retaining wall. The little damge done is a tribute to the Galaxy which is clearly designed to be driven by myopic halfwits (according to my wife).
