Hello all. I just replaced all 4 tires because I had some serious wear on the inside of the front tires. I got a 4 wheel alignment with the tires and I guess the camber cant be adjusted. The guy told me it's most likely something bent in the front and suggested struts to start with. I was hoping maybe someone here would know for sure before I spend $$ on the front struts. I have a 2008 Volvo S80 T6 (and love it!) Aside from the pain in the butt aftermarket sound system install..... Anyways any help or tips would be appreciated.

 

He's right, there is no camber adjustment. I would agree with starting with the strut, but I have seen bent spindles too. Might be worth trying a junkyard spindle.

 

Thank you for the response. I Just searched FCPeuro for spindle and came up with nothing. Could you maybe link a part? I could only think axle shaft but if that were bent I'd know it. Sorry for the noob question. I usually fix my cars myself but I'm far from a mechanic. Today was my first drive on the highway with the new tires and it was smooooooth at last.

 

Also called a knuckle:

Thanks a lot. I'll have to decide witch to start with. Thinking back I can remember slamming a huge pothole 2 months back on my way to get my dog. Other than that I baby her so. It was the pothole or I bought it that way ~ 4 months ago.

 

Just something to consider- the labor would almost entirely overlap while doing the struts. So doing it all at once might be the same price as doing the strut and then later the knuckle if needed.

 

Our 2017 V60 Cross Country T6 has only 20K miles and the two 19" Perelli front tires are completely worn out. The two front tires have a 1" strip worn on the inside edge. Rest of tire appears normal. Rear tire wear is only 2/32". I assume the problem is that the front camber is too agressive. The plan is to get an alignment and replace both front tires with new Perelli tires. The car was dealer demo purchased with 4K miles. My theory is that dealer adjusted the factory alignment to make the stance more agressive. Has anyone else had this problem?
