camber bolt might not be as tight as it should and you have too much inner camber...

you if you are taking hard turns and your tire pressure is too much or too little....

but first see if you can get an alignement check.... usually cheaper if not free.


but first jack it up and wiggle stuff to see if anything is loose.

well, i have had the struts on and off about 5 times the past 4 months.....with no alignment......but is one wheel wearing normal.......shouldn't both fronts wear....i dunno, but yeah, im gonna get the alignement checked asap

well if you;ve removed em and put em back on, thats probably why.... always align afterwards... especially 4-5 months worth.....


one side might be wearing abnormal but you dont see it yet....


but anytime you remove anything major on the front, get an alignment.... less expensive than new tires

yeah i know.......you can call me an idiot.....i was dumb and didn't do it, plus i drove a 1500 mile trip...well i wanted another resonator put in my exhaust anyways......guess i'll get an alignment and exhaust work at the same time......thanks event....as usual, you da man

i didnt call anyone anything

as it stands, i;ve learned the hard way... hence the reason i have a spare tire in my living room in case of emergency


its been decoration for a few years, but it got here cause of me not thinking

yeah, i hear that........i just hope it all comes out ok, as it stands now i need one new tire, well, guess i could get a new set....theyre all getting worn...but 225 45 17's are expensive.......oh well, the price of performance

The stock shocks are non-adjustable. They have no room for movement.

stock ones can be adjusted to a certain degree....

always...

for them to be non adjustable... the hole would have to be precisely the same size as the spindle holes, which would make it hard as nuts to get the bolt in...

got it aligned......all problems are fixed...the alignmetn was shot, the camber was awful and the toe was just plain horrible.......at least thats what the guy at the shop told me, but its all good now

I just ordered some 225/45/HR17 Cooper Zeon ZPTs for $80 each, + 4 $2.50 valve stems, shipping $74 = $404

In town, each one of those tires costs $164, for a grand total of $656

Even after mounting them and getting an alignment I will have saved a ton over retail price. I suggest you go that route.
