What can cause uneven tyre wear? IVECO DAILY III Box Body / Estate 2.8 35 S 9 V,35 C 9 V (62 kw / 84 hp) (05.1999 - 07.2007)

Rapid and uneven front tyre wear after replacing shock absorbers on your IVECO Daily III can result from several possible issues, and you are not alone—others have reported similar problems.

Common Causes of Fast Front Tyre Wear After Shock Replacement

1. Wheel Alignment Issues
- After replacing shock absorbers, it is essential to check and, if needed, adjust the wheel alignment. New shocks can alter the suspension geometry, causing misalignment, which leads to rapid or uneven tyre wear.

2. Incorrect Shock Absorber Fitment
- If the new shock absorbers are not the correct type, length, or specification for your vehicle, they can affect suspension behavior. For example, shocks that are too short or too stiff can change how the tyres contact the road, accelerating wear.

3. Suspension Component Problems
- Related suspension parts (e.g., wishbones, springs, bushings) may also be worn or incorrectly installed. If these were disturbed or are worn out, they can contribute to abnormal tyre wear.

4. Tyre Pressure and Quality
- Incorrect tyre pressure or poor-quality tyres can also lead to faster wear, though this is less likely if your tyres were new and properly inflated.

What Other Owners Have Experienced

- Other IVECO Daily III owners have reported similar issues after shock absorber replacement, specifically rapid front tyre wear within a few thousand kilometers. This strongly suggests the issue is not isolated and is likely related to suspension geometry or installation.

Steps to Resolve the Issue

- Have the wheel alignment checked and corrected by a professional after any suspension work.
- Verify that the shock absorbers are the correct part for your IVECO Daily III, matching the original specifications in length and damping characteristics.
- Inspect other suspension components for wear or incorrect installation, especially if you or your mechanic worked on other parts during the shock replacement.
- Recheck tyre pressures and ensure tyres are suitable for your vehicle.
