My front wheel drive Toyota Rav 4 rear tires are severely cupped and the printout from the wheel alignment says that the rear wheel alignment is within specification. Plus the dealer told me that the recall for the rear wheels does not effect this problem. Also the standard procedure for the recall shows that the nuts for the rear wheels alignment adjustment were torqued correctly from the factory and therefore the rear alignment has probably not moved since the factory. I am a newly retired engineer and my opinion based on the information I have is that cupping of both rear tires plus excessive rear tire noise is a problem with the Rav 4 Toyota product.

Worn shocks and/or struts will cause cupped tires. There may be another suspension or chassis component worn, but the shocks/struts are the first components that should be inspected.


What is a FTG x C copper fitting?

C = cupped end - the type you would slide over another pipe to make a sweat connection FTG = fitting end - the type that slides inside a cupped end, also called a "street" fitting M = male pipe threads FE (sometimes listed as just F, not correct)= female pipe threads The "X" is "by", so C X C is "cupped by cupped", a fitting with two ends such as a coupling or elbow, both cupped for sweating onto a pipe or fitting end. C X C X C would be a fitting with three ends such as a tee, all cupped. C X FTG could be a street elbow or a reducing bushing, one part slides over a pipe, the other inside another cupped fitting. C is indeed a cupped fitting. CMP is compression, but there is no such thing as a copper fitting with a compression connection. There are brass and plastic compression fittings that will fit copper pipe, but not copper compression fittings.
