Tires worn olut on the inside!!!

I dropped the suspension using H&R OE springs and my tires are all worn out on the inside and i need to change them. My ball joints also need to be changed. I guess i need a camber kit. My Question is, should i get front and back kits?

Did you ever get an alignment AFTER you lowered it? The OE kit doesnt require a camber kit. Sounds like you need an alignment to get rid of a toe out issue.

I always have problems with steering when i have my summer tires on. Car always pulls to either side. When i have stock size tires on like my winter tires i have no issues.

replacement of ball joints, and maybe a few other things that are near being loose enough to replace (tie rod ends where the actual adjustment is made) should fix the prob

what were your camber readings?
I run negative 1.4 and no signs of wear from that
Did have a toe wear issue when it needed an align again~
rare is the TL needing kits, I hear about rear being installed more often,
as it exceeds neg 2 degrees it will eat the tires
