I've got a '98 1.8 A4 and the other day, my wife drove it down the road and I noticed the front wheels seem to be pointing inwards a quite a bit at the bottom as if there is something lifting the front of the car up if you see what I mean. It is even like it when not accelerating, although this does make it more obvious.
I've also noticed recently the front tyres are quite worn on the very outer edge, which I guess to a certain extent is normal on this car, but cant be helped with the wheels leaning over on this edge constantly.
There aren't any noises coming from the suspension and it seems to handle fine, just looks a bit odd. Would getting the tracking adjusted sort this out or is it likely to be something more expensive? The rear shocks were replaced a couple of years ago, maybe its time to do the fronts?

Any opinions welcome!

Thanks
