2003 Renault Clio Dynamique 1.5 dci80. Am I really the only Clio owner with rear wheel alignment problems? R/N/S tyre worn indicating a problem and vehicle subsequently checked confirming the fault. The vehicle has not been damaged, kerbed, potholed or abused in any other manner. Problem really manifested itself during the recent snow/ice conditions - very exciting to drive!!! Usual Renault warranty 'hassles' are anticipated.

Any possibility of a misaligned bearing? SWMBO's Clio had a noisy bearing replaced recently (35K) and mechanic said he had to put unusual force on the extractor to get it off, and he thought it was on 'a bit crooked'.

Wife's '98 Clio 1.6 RXE had new new tyres mid last year, fronts due to wear though rears due to age (signs of perishing) not wear(only 18k), however since I have noticed that the new NSR tyre is wearing on the inside (now 22k), i.e. unevenly and have been wondering if the alignment can be adjusted.
Any thoughts?

Get a good tyre specialist to check the allignment of the front wheels with respect to the rears. I had this done on my wife's Clio a couple of years ago when it had similar problems. Apparently the front wheels were in allignment but not with the rears! This wascaused by all the adjustment being carried out on the off side so that the four wheels were not in a straight line with one another. Only downside to the job was that it was a far less exciting drive afterwards !
