I just took my front tyres off and it looks like I got the same problem.I have rotated them a couple of times but there is definate excessive wear on the inner front tyres.I had an alignment done a few months ago.The car is lowered on kings lows and stock shocks.

I asked them if they can get the toe as close to zero and the camber roughly even on both sides when I was there.
I just wanted to see what you guys think,cheers.
-
did you see whether they actually set it correctly and got a printout?
i've got -2deg camber and 1mm total toe out on the front and it's wearing very evenly still
-
I did get a printout and I remember the figures being good.I can't find it now...
I've had good use out of these tyres,it's just the excessive wear you can see on the inside that concerns me.
-
defo something up with that dude
like i said, after about 15,000k with my alignment settings above the wear still seems even
-
Thanks Vinny!
I have some T1R's I might get put on and ask them the same - get the toe as close to zero and the camber roughly even on both sides.And get them to check all the suspension components while they are at it.
I have some - * Mugen Front Upper Control Arm Bushes
* Mugen Front Lower Control Arm Bushes
Maybe I should take them along and if the old ones are shot,get them put in? Would the above bushes if buggered cause the excessive tyre wear?
-
easy to see really if your bushes are shot
jiggle the arms around and see if theres any excessive play
but the tyre wear problems to me looks like excessive toe in
-
-
My front right CV boot is split,grease everywhere.Could that cause the uneven wear?
All the bushes are fine.13 years and going strong!
-
don't see why a split boot would cause any havoc on tyre wear
but get it fixed asap though :)

My front lower strut bar wasn't tight.I tighten it up.I just can't figure out if it would cause the uneven tyre wear? Vinny!? :)
This is the only pic I have atm,just to show my strut:

that lca bolt? probably not
things that would affect your alignment would be bushings, tie rods(inner and outer) and probably the top camber arms
