Hey guys my front tires are wearing a little weird.

Especially the front drivers tire... The insides are wearing very fast... basically the very inside edge 1" before the inner sidewall at a 30 degree angle.

I had it aligned and the report showed toe was in check and the camber was like a -1.2 which wasn't horrible I thought.

My question is what would cause this crazy fast wear on the inside 1" of the tire at a severe angle? When you view my car the front tires are not cambered bad I mean my rears look cambered at -3 but the wear is not bad as compared to the front.

What could be causing this extreme wear. Should I take it to get aligned again? maybe toe is out? It drives perfectly straight and does not pull. Could there be other bushings or something else that could cause this wear?

Any advice is appreciated so I can correct this issue and save my tires lives

Here is a pic of my old tires I just changed since i wanted to run narrower tires but the new ones are also wearing pretty fast on the inside..... You can see in the pic the left side about a 1" patch worn at an angle...

Thanks in advance

Guess you never took it to another shop for alignment.
Looks like a repeat:

yea did know if i should take it again i didnt want to spend $100 again if it could possibly be something else other than toe or camber... there report from the computerized lazer machine said my front toe was set back to within specs... i had the sheet but cant find it now but was in the green and "good" camber was like i said around -1.1 to -1.2 which was outside of specs by a little but its wierd because its wearing at a really odd angle

havent gone yet but i guess ill go again this week to a new shop and spend more $$$ see if they have different results... i just wanted to rule out some other factor if anyone had an idea other than toe or camber...

because if it is toe then these guys machines are off and they set it wrong... maybe the guy had no idea on how to use the machine who knows... i just hate the aggrevation of finding a shop willing to take the lowered car on the rack

I hate cars

Mine looked exactly like that with the super sharp, steep angle on the inside but without feathering that toe usually causes. Mine turned out to be the compliance bushings. Alignment specs would look ok but as soon as you moved off the rack they would change. They would also deflect any time you were under acceleration, braking, cornering, etc.

^ i tried pm'n you this but your in box is full"

"yo thanks for your input!

what do you think i should do? I have a feeling it might be that as well because the alignment specs dialed in at zero and its a noteable shop around here?

how did you repair/replace these bushings and what exactly are they just the lower control arm busings??

thanks so much for your help this is what I wanted to figure out!"

is this the comliance bushing and how is it supposed to look?

Why start throwing parts into the car, take it back to the shop that did the alignment and and show them the results of their settings.
