Driver Side / Inner Tyre Excessive Ware
Hello All,
Before i look to start replacing parts i want to check with the professional.

I have had the car about 5 months, when I purchased it I replaced the front tyres with new ones and Tracking and balance was also done.
Today i have notice the front driver side inner tyre has worn way more than the rest of the tyre.
I have not curbed the car or anything like that, another things that I notices on a dead straight if i let go of the steering wheel the car start straying towards the left.

Any though, comments, would be greatly appreciate.

Camber may need adjusting and as to turning slight left. Roads have camber on them so the rain flows to the drain

The car will pull to the left naturally as above states. I would get the car in and get a optical tracking done on it and get the worn tyre to the spare or the back. I wouldn't worry to much about this as it will no doubt be normal wear .

Might be worth checking the bushes etc

My polo 9n3 just had new console bushes fitted.

Im not expert but I'd suggest the bushes too. Bad design flaw on these cars, and mine's starting to eat tyres too so Im suspecting the bushes
