Hi my front end lifts when I put my foot down, and the whole car sort of rocks, my mate said that the front wheels lean inwards when I accelerate, I noticed the tires are more warn on the outside because of this, is it down to the fact it is a 1.2 and very light at the front end?

Would there be anything I can do? like lowering or something?

Thanks

it's the torque of the engine that is causing this.

tracking is out. thats why your tyres are wearing and your wheels are pointing in.

if the tyres are worn on the outside, and the wheels point in when you are accelerating, its out

under normal conditions, the wheels point out slightly when you accelerate, and straighten up when you are sat still

Check that the bushes at the front that your tie bars bolt into aren't worn as well.
