Rear Wheel Alignment
I am showing unusual wear on the rear wheels of my '98 TJ. The
pattern is a saw tooth on the outer edge, noticable when rubbing your hand from front to back (not outside to inside). Are the rear wheels adjustable and could the problem be fixed?

Check the tire pressure first. Low pressure will make that pattern too. On Wed, 1 Dec 2004, gdkucera wrote: > I am showing unusual wear on the rear wheels of my '98 TJ.

That is cupping and is usually caused by a dead shock.

I second the shock thing...the "saw tooth" is a dead give away that the tire is bouncing down the road instead of staying in contact with it. -- Disclaimer: A large chunk of the preceding was, in its entirety, written by the wisest of mules. http://www.****inggoogleit.com/ JEGP O|||||||O NC, USA MSN:JEGP AOL:JEGP

it's called cupping and is a result of not rotating and keeping the tires
