I had similar last year after Mitsi fitted a new track rod end. Started scrubbing out the outside edges of new Eagle F1's in about 1500 miles. Steering wheel was also off centre which it wasn't before. Took it to a tyre place and got the tracking set up parallel (I think a few seconds of toe in) or as near as damn it. Have now done 10K including 3 track days and there is still some to go.

Pop "tracking settings" into the search box - there's a couple of threads in there. Apparently settings for the VR-4 are the same as for a 2WD V6.

all sorted , did it yself today :scholar: got some gauges off tyre chap and used his ramp too NSR was miles out , the light on the gauges was on the tyre tread instead of the gauge on the front wheel abit of serchin foun the adjuster on back end bolt with egg shaped washer on it , drives much better now i don'tget the (kick) when i hit pot holes , i think it must have been drivin like a crab ,hence s/wheel off centre and tyre wear on back :pimp2: , i''ll give it a few weeks and see if tyres or still legal /rally
