Some 1979-1984 Eldorados and 1980-1984 Sevilles may experience irregular rear tire wear. If this condition is encountered, the following corrective action should be taken:

^ Check rear wheel alignment. Reset toe-in (if necessary) to the following specifications:

Per Wheel: 0.10~ +/- 0.10~ (0.05" +/- 0.05")
Sum: 0.20~ +/- 0.20~ (0.10" +/- 0.10")

^ If tires are not excessively worn, rotate tires in a "Modified X" pattern as shown in Figure 1.

^ If tire wear is severe enough to make replacement necessary, the tire dealer should be contacted to determine if a tire warranty or policy adjustment is in order.
