406 HDI Estate tyre wear nearside rear

[Nicolasticit]

getting severe outer tread tyre wear - rear inner.

Shocks not leaking and no lateral wear in the fulcrum bush - am I missing the obvious.

anyone had similar?

The rear wheel track is ajustable and if you have had rear track arms replaced chances are they have not been set up correctly.

thanks - never changed though car has 130K miles on it. Would a knock put he track out? Does the Haynes manual help in setting or is specialist kit required?

Yes a knock could put the ajustment out or a worn balljoint on the rear track arms. A Haynes manual would show you how to replace them but you need tracking gauges to set up (just like you do with front wheel tracking).
