    Uneven Tread Wear on front tires fix?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Does anyone have a fix for uneven tire wear on the front tires? The inside tread is wearing fast due to camber, what route should I go to fix that? I've heard upper control arms, and putting the alignment toe to zero, anyone have experience fixing this issue? Thank you.

    The reason is worn suspension components or bad alignment, or a combination of the two. The fix is to replace any worn components and have an alignment done. By this point all of the control arms probably need to be replaced.

    On any of these cars its best to just do all the control arm at once. They are all getting older now. Worn uppers will let the top off the wheel lean in. Worn lowers will let the bottom come outward. Most likely with age its a combination of both. If its lowered then you may need to look into adjustable uppers.

    In extreme cases it can be ball joints or wheel bearings too. Ball joints all get replaced with a control arm kit.

    Redid control arms/bushing lowers and solved inside wear drastically
