    Not much choice in mobile wheel aligners,, and I dont think he was at all interested in being Imbil mobile....

    radius rods on solid axles roller rockers ??? is that a thing? got pics??
    as all 4 tyres are showing the same wear, its either a manufacturing error or ONE huge 4wheel load event, like getting the van airborne.
    I might get under with a stringline and check,, but not today. its cats and dogs outside!

    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Van Tyre wear Pattern

    Pedro
    Had a real problem with wife's "Girlie Van" wearing 3 of the tyres in various ways. Two of them looked similar to yours, the other scrubbed badly on the inside.
    Similar load sharing set up to that visible in your pics. ie 4wheels 4 springs with centre rocker.
    Measured and marked the centre line, checked toe in toe out from that line and then checked camber. Tried adjusting the springs/axle pads, but insufficient movement to correct the situation.
    Finally took it to a Truck Wheel aligning business for them to fix. They loosened the spring bolts and bent axles to suit.
    Do not necessarily approve of the method they used, but, it now tows much better, and is not feathering/scrubbing tyres like it was.
    Van weight is 2834kg ATM. Run tyre pressure at 45psi.
    Attached wheel alignment chart shows before (shaded) and after alignment.
    Regards
    Harry
