tyres scrubbing on the inside

[gypo]

Ive just had to put new tyres on the front of our van as the inner edge has scrubbed to the canvas even though the rest of the tyre is like new!
My mate has a tyre place and checked the tracking which he says is spot on. He says some times you have to track older vehicles in a bit? also ive lowered it 30mm but i wouldnt think that would affect the camber would it?
Does anyone have any info or experience of this as i dont want to be putting tyres on it every 1000 miles?
cheers

The top wishbone bushes collapse giving excessive 'negative' camber (leaning inwards from the top)
To check, look very closely at the large allen bolt going through the middle of the bushes (top wishbone looking from the front) The head of the bolt should be in the centre of the bush, when they fail the bolt head goes dramatically to one side.
A known regular replacement part.

Cheers for the reply, do you mean the allen bolt you need to take out at the top when you change the springs and push the arm up out of the way?

*E D I T* do you mean this part here
cheers

No the long bolt that goes through these, two on each side (top wishbones)

You see the top picture, it has a white nylon washer in the face of the bush, the round headed allen bolt should be in the center of this washer and not 15-20mm to one side.
