Tire Wear
Hey guys i`ve got tire wear on the inner left forward tire and outter right tire!Basically the car is killing the right side of the front tires!
on the driving wheel there is a very little offset to the right to keep the car going straight and if i put the driving wheel straight the car pulls to the left.
So do you thing its a suspension problem or a wheel alignment will do the drill?
Thxs!

mine was doing similar. Ended up being combination of control arms and alignment. year and mileage might help to narrow it down. Mine was 6 years old with about 80K miles when I replaced control arms.

Wouldn't it be best to take your car to someone there to look at it and tell you what the problem is? It seems a bit crazy to buy bushing when they could be perfectly ok.

Chances are if they have never been replaced they are well past worn. But take it to a good indy and have them check, or jack your car up and see if there is slack in the control arm. Mine were so worn out that I could move them with my hand.
