Are they wearing evenly or more on the inside? I would have the alignment verified by another shop.

 

Ye it wears evenly. The last one I had made was at VW themselves in a brand new machine

 

Touaregs normally wear tires/tyres pretty evenly.

It sounds like the problem might be with the difference in height between the front and rear of your lowered suspension.

 

This is how its lowered. A bit lower in the front but the front coils have been turned down as much as possible but the backs can get a lot lower Its only like half way down in the back

 

For a 4x4 those wheels, tyres and ride height are pretty insane! I think you have to expect to pay to play with that set up!!

Rotate the tyres ASAP so they all wear evenly otherwise you will get transmission wind up which may burn out the clutches in the gearbox. There should be no more than 3mm tread depth difference between the front and rear axles.

All 4 tyres are IDENTICAL aren't they as in same make, same model, same tread pattern, and same size?

 

i mean, I hate to say it, but I think it's lowered too much, which might be causing it to run an uneven camber. It just wasn't designed to run like that. Something tells me, that if you were to put the stock setup back on, you wouldn't run into that problem.

Most of the time, when a car is lowered, it cannot be properly adjusted/aligned on a regular alignment machine. It requires it do be hand adjusted, with the human eye. This was the case with my old E36 M3. I had Koni adjustable coilovers, and on a machine, it made it worse. It eventually had to be hand-adjusted.

 

Good advice. Find someone who can read your tire wear and adjust your alignment accordingly, not just to what the "book" says to do.

The Dealership is NOT the place for that to happen.

 

Curious to know if someone else knows this (I do not know the answer, however I am suspicious), but does a ride height difference between front and rear impact braking boost to front versus rear axel? Under braking could the ESP overboost the rear to try and level the Touareg?

I have experienced the ESP on my VWs, and it is very capable of manipulating the dynamics by overboosting even a single wheel (and it can be profoundly felt).

The weakest link in a vehicle is almost always any aftermarket parts or modifications.

 

I too have experienced VW's ESP. I was driving a Sportwagen. I had to make a very abrupt maneuver "at speed" due to some idiot blowing through a stop sign. I know ESP saved the vehicle and me from something bad. I'm a believer now.

 

No. The weakest link is always the driver!

 

Ah Touché! And you can fix stupid.

 

All 4 tyres are the same yes. Right now it has the wintertyres on 18" standard wheels. I have thought about raising it actually. I was under the car yesterday and saw both dampers in the rear "bleeding" so they are probably broken. Could this be the problem maybe? Its not the first time I have been under there but it is the first time I have seen this.
If it is too low shouldn't it be eating the wheels at all 4 corners Im thinking?

 

If the dampeners are actually leaking then that can contribute, but ususally you get a strange wear pattern, if they are rebuildabke then get that done or replace them. Are the correct tire pressures being used.
Any chance that they tires are rubbing on the fender liners.
