Default Tire wear problem

Help guys, today I discovered the wear of the front wheels of my car. Since I bought into a noise, but I did not know they were the wheels. Someone knows why? I attach a photo so you can see it.

Thank you very much, a greeting!

Looks like you might need a front wheel alignment and perhaps two MB Camber adjustment bolts.

Other members have mentioned that the stearing stabilizer began to wear out early and had to replaced them (under $100) if not and your shocks or ball joints have faded - it would be interesting to know how many miles you have on your XF and how much dirt road traveling you do?

BTW - very nice photos in your gallery....

Was your car lowered.

Mine was, but the previous owner had not adjusted the camber.

The wear looks like scuff marks. Do you ever feel like it is bottoming out when you hit bumps. If your car was lowerd it could be camber problems or the car tires could be scraping the wheel well. Do you see rubber marks on the top of the wheel well?

I have camber problems because my car was lowered. I am ordering K-Mac camber kits.

Regards,

Glenn

Hello everyone.
My crossfire is not lowered suspension when I buy in Germany and I think that this noise, but now has increased significantly.
BrianBrave If I remove my wheel, you can tell me where is that screw into a photo?

By visiting a workshop? My tires are already to throw them away.

The rest of the wheel wear normal, but the interior has some wear jumps. (trompicones in Spanish)

Sorry for my English, if anyone does not understand me repeat post

Marine 05 Is it? http://www.k-mac.com.au/


I forgot! 70.000km my crossfire is not how many miles will be.

Today I went to a Mercedes workshop and they said that the problem is the suspension. I think I will buy one and put it myself.

How do I know if the screw is in good condition?
