@Lee540 - Are you lowered at all? Did you ask for "No Load" setting?
A bit of night time reading here:
https://www.t6forum.com/threads/lowering-and-wheel-alignment-issues.11095/
This is high on my list of things to do! My steering wheel sits slightly offset, I want that fixing and to know that everything is going forwards and not in anyway sideways.
Hi
I had mine on the hunter today at my nearest Kwik Fit. The lads we really good and helpful. I've recently had the van lowered on Solow Lows and on the lowest setting. They did the alignment on full load as they could find the VW code (usually a sticker in the vehicle apparently)
I was...
Just to add my own experience which is similar to your last alignment @fezza68
I had Solows (at full height) on my T32 LWB for just over 18 months and must have covered ~ 15k. It was Hunter aligned by @BognorMotors and even though the rear camber was excessive without the adjustable bushes...
Hi, I originally read this thread a few years ago when I lowered my LWB Kombi 6.1 T32 40mm with Eibach springs and put 20 inch wheels on with GoodYear F1 265/40 20 all information I got from this website!
2 years later and approx 16k miles all tyres are mid way worn, 4mm (I drive like miss...
I would get the wheel alignment checked at a garage with decent equipment (Hunter or similar). Otherwise your new tyres will suffer a similar fate of rapid wear of the inside edge.
...and the subframe is bent, unlikely as I’m sure it would be obvious from its history. I had my tracking done at Bognor motors on a hunteralignment system a couple of years ago now and the wear on all the tyres is so even it’s definitely worth it. I’m sure with the locks you could disconnect...

...I run the tyres at a lbft over recommended and check the pressure at least once a month or before a long journey. Spoke with a Hunteralignment guy today who said he has seen a lot of T5/T6 vans which have similar excessive wear on the outside yet the tracking checked out. Had one customer...
This is often down to suspension alignment. Incorrect toe angles cause this sort of wear.
You need a proper 'Hunter' alignment by someone who knows how to use the equipment. This is best done on 4 new tyres, as adjusting the settings to suit out of shape tyres will still be wrong.
