idea as to why? History: Been aligned plenty of times, Factory installed tires wore out in 5k miles. Put new ones with harder rubber-wore out in 6k miles. No one can find the problem.
The dealer is saying it's my driving that is doing it-stop and go (newspaper delivery) But I had another vehicle in which it never did this.
The other independant shop that has been been helping me-says it has to be something else and found on the TSB board the Aveo has 3 differant settings for the alignment-dependant on the load I carry.
The dealer is still holding strong-I believe I have a lemon-so now I am going to another dealer to get a third opinion.
Does anyone have any insight why this would happen so quickly and what might be the problem except an alignment problem-becasue it seems always to be in alignment.
Ok- the tire wear rate is not the same-Back end is fine-it's the LT front 1rst then RT front. It doesn't pull to the side. From what I hear-no camber/Caster adjustments. Haven't hit any curbs. I will have the shop look at the bolts and I don't believe a shop has done that diagnostic-I will have them check. Also when the brakes get hot-it pulls to the left side.
Also guys-serious answers only-yes I put an extra 0 in the year, big whoopy-the old adage-Listen to what I mean, not what I say plays in this.
Thank you
