Can front alignment being out effect rear tyre wear?

[dsaunders30]

Hello

My front wheel alignment is out (I have shoulder wear on the inside of the drivers tyre).

When looking at the rear, it looks like I have some Minor wear on the inside of the rear tyre (same side). Could it be that the front alignment has caused the rear to wear unevenly or is the rear out too?

Is it worth paying for 4 wheel geometric alignment or should I just get the front done as I know this is out?

Many thanks

Hello

Hopefully it's just wheel alignment front + back then and not something else like bushes.

I'm having the alignment done this afternoon. How will I know if the problem is resolved or not? Thanks

Even if it's front and back misaligned? As I was thinking the toe must be out on both.

Hello

Car had full 4 wheel geo alignment done today. Front and rear toe was adjusted. This makes sense to me as that's how the tyres have worn, the front being worse than the back.

Is it still likely there is a bush issue or other issue? If so how can I get it diagnosed? I don't want to have to pay again for a check and then have somebody tell me it needs some thing doing just so they get the work.

Thanks

Sorry mate, I appreciate the help but Im just not convinced because the toe needed to be adjusted which I thought did explain the wear pattern. Hence why I asked questions.

I will have to get a mechanic I know and trust to have a look and tell me if it needs doing and if it does I'll get it done.

Thank you for taking the time to reply and give advice.

If it is bushes like you are thinking how much roughly do you think I'd be looking at ? It's ford mondeo mk3. I've done some research but heard a lot of variance.

Thanks

Hi I didn't get a print out but on my invoice it states front and rear toe adjusted.

Also it was a 4 wheel geometry test using the computer.
