WEARING TYRES Much the same applies to the steering-gear, with which just about all the home mechanic can do is to check all the connections, like the ball-joints at the bottom of the steering arm and the ends of the tie-rod, take up slack in the steering-box if there happens to be an adjustment (this is not usual), and watch the tyres carefully for signs of undue wear. Any indication that a front tyre is wearing rapidly on one side, or in irregular bumps and hollows, means that the front wheels are out of alignment, and a check should be made at a garage. It can be done at home, but it takes so much trouble to rig up the necessary gear that it is much faster (and safer) to take it to a garage.
