Results on home alignment
It was very easy to do and would get you out of trouble untill you can get a pro to do it properly
If you have feathering on one edge and want to have a go yourself, only adjust between 5 and 10 mm, I put a pencil line on the bolt washer as a refrence, lightly loosened off both nuts on the traling arms and adjusted down ( down apears to be out )
I moved 25mm way to much but I wanted a result and got weare on my inside edges so took it back to 12 mm seems OK.
I think if I had done this sooner I might have saved these tyres "my bad" I will have no hesatation in readjusting if I start to scrub tyres in the future.
Booked in Tuesday for the tyres n alignment
Thanks again for the help and suggestions

Finish to the tale.
We got to Perth picked up a brand new tyre from Gumtree $100 fitted for $20 then a very professional chap came to our site and did the alignment $220.
I don't often make recommendations as they can come back to bit you, but I think this chap was Good.
In Sydney I used Narellan wheel alignments for over 30 years and they are one of the best with a top rep.
