  Scenic has done 30000 miles and is on its second set of front tryres. When washing it today, noticed that the outside edges of both front tyres is badly worn but the rest of the tread is fine. Is this a simple alignment problem or something more serious? I had the car into the garage a few weeks

• Speeding (mostly excl cameras) Vol 33 18 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  HJ in yesterday's Telegraph: ". . . It's best to drive with one wheel over the middle of the hump and the other on the flat.

• Ford Fiesta (1989 - 1995) - 1996 1.1 steering UJ replacement 28 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Just replaced the lower UJ on a Fiesta 'classic'. Now as I steer, I feel a slight jump where the two UJs seem to not have enough room to turn. The inner steering shaft moves up against the bearing spring a couple of mm inside the column. Do the two UJs need to be in any specific alignment to each
