You stated in your first post.........40t that is........
"The year before last there was an MOT advisory - trailing arm bush deteriorated, but not excessive. Though I'd imagine that wouldn't produce this sort of noise?"
So if the tyres have sawtooth wear is that down to the trailing arm bushes being worn ? Hence out of alignment.....just an educated guess.....
Getting it aligned with worn bushes might cure your problem for a short time but, they will wear more quickly and you end up with the issue again me thinks, on possibly new tyres if fitted.
Your shout not mine..................
In theory nothing should go out of alignment unless you have worn or bent suspension parts (potholes spring to mind on that one).
