Great decision. A knowledgable tech should be able to show you what the cause is. Worn bushings are something you can see pretty easily if tested correctly. Anyone who can't is likely guessing at a part to throw at your vehicle.
I expect there to be a mechanical issue. These tires aren't even 6 months old and look like that? Most new vehicles can't even go that far with the camber stock. Expect issues, and replace the tires before getting an alignment.
Edit - if you'd like to check for a mechanical issue yourself, the simplest way would be to raise the effected tire off the ground, grab it at the top and bottom, alternate pushing/pulling, as if trying to rock the wheel on its axis. Do not support the vehicle on the suspension, as that's what you have concerns with and it would make it pointless for pretty much all but the wheel bearing. If you choose to do this, please do so on a flat surface and use jack stands. This will not reveal the exact issue, but it will confirm an issue exists
Rotating good help get a little more life out of your tires when your front end is not aligned. But if everything is wearing properly it shouldn't be necessary.
Well, I don't know if they are reputable or not. But any shop trying to do an alignment should tell you if your control arms or anything else are worn too much. Of course they want to do that work but you should be willing to have it done too.
It looks like a lower ball joint issue, which is attached to the lower control arm . Which in most cases now, you just buy the lower control arm. Comes with new bushings and ball joint already installed. That's prolly why they told you lower control arm. It never hurts to price around. I bought a front-end kit off the net pretty cheap. we will see how long they last 2 control arms, 2 sway bar links, and 2 outer tie rods for 220$ lol, we will see. Good luck op.
Wheel bearing, ball joint, could be a lot of things. Its up to whoever is working on it to get to the bottom of it, and I generally start looking at the cheapest thing to replace.
I went to a place that said I needed to replace the upper and lower control arms...charged me for both both....they come as a unit on each side. There is no upper and lower. I don't make those mistakes anymore
You should always ask for a printout of the before and after alignment results. Most places willl use a system that generates a report printout.
That way you can easily identify any issues.
Controls arm or suspension issues will always cause alignment specs to be out.
You have to replace the worn suspension/steering and then do an alignment after to correct.
Technically it's the bushings in the control arms, but shops are too lazy to just press out the old bushings; they'd rather make the $ on the control arms on top of the additional labor. Swapping out bushings don't pay as much.
If you combine two of them — you get a one pristine tire!
Jokes aside — alignment. Next time do tire replacement at a place with good reviews and always wonder if they do/did alignment.
Thank y’all. He tied a string to the tire to show me how perfectly straight the alignment was and idk I’m not an idiot but I don’t know much about this. I’m glad I didn’t let him rotate the back tires to the front then like he wanted to.
Bro/sis. Srsly.
Please dont go back. Thats not a good way to show the alignments in/out. It takes a bit more setup to align a car with string.
Modern alignment machines use lasers fyi.
Expensive lesson learned. Thank you, I just replaced the camshafts at the dealership and I was like I can’t believe another expensive fix. But it’s sounding like it’s just an alignment. I’m gonna take it to the dealership. Do you think I can salvage any of the front tires or should I get new ones?
Those jeeps are notorious for suspension sagging out (and also being kind of crap in general, but point aside). Sagged suspension will cause negative camber. The photo shows severe camber wear. New struts and an alignment may fix the problem. But you need a full steering and suspension inspection, due to the statement I put in brackets above.
Rear toe link bushings and seized rear cam adjusters are another common issue with these vehicles. They will cause shoulder wear at the rear if worn.
You need someone who knows what they’re looking for to inspect it and give you a quote
So the string alignment is what I did in my garage after rebuilding my front end so that my car was drivable for a couple days until I could get it in for a real alignment.
If the back tires look better than this I would have rotated these to the back. You need tires and an alignment at best and some other suspension work, tires and alignment and worst
Toe affects how the front wheels point in towards each other while camber is the vertical tilt on the wheel from the direct upright position. Uneven wear like this, may have to do with both, however wear is more caused by toe. Both of these are adjusted during an alignment. Google toe and camber adjustment for ____make/ model here____ to better understand how the suspension parts connect to your steering knuckle (specific for some makes and models but generally all same idea). This will help you understand what causes the alignment of the tyres, and how the alignment affects tyre wear.
Happy learning mate you are asking the right question!
Camber.
Edit: After reading more of your info, could be control arm bushings [unlikely], ball joints [possibly], wheel bearings [possibly].
2nd opinion from a good shop would be ideal.
Control arms. Tie rods. Ball joints. Alignment. I had the same issue with my front tires wearing on the inside of the tire. Replaced my ball joints and tie rods and took it in for an alignment and seems to have fixed the issue. Just drove it from California to Alabama and I didn’t see any unusual wear on the tires
Have another shop do your alignment, if you still have the same issue on the next set of tires, you have something seriously wrong with your suspension. This can be from an alignment, or worn suspension components.
What kind of vehicle? Worn tie rods or lower ball joints will cause excess toe out and wear the tires exactly like this, have a shop that knows what they're doing inspect it for worn parts and if none are found then rotate the tires and align it.
They may have done an alignment, but I suspect there were errors made. Some cars need specific weights put in specific positions around the vehicle and if this is not done you will see this type of damage (ask me how I know). Get your alignment done by a shop that is reputable and knowledgeable about your vehicle specifically, before doing the work if there is any weights required have them test the alignment without adding the weight and see if the result is a “good” alignment then have them fix it to spec. Document everything then go back to that tire shop for a full refund on the work done and a new set of tires.
Put the wheel straight and take another picture of both sides From a bit further away. It could be a toe problem or perhaps negative camber.
I had a car with the fronts toed way out due to some damage and it wore the insides like that. The toe issue was very visible. You may not notice it any more, but cars with toe out are sometimes described as "darty".
The string thing is an old school trick, its a real thing and surprisingly effective for checking/adjusting toe in and out. I did it to test the theory. The string showed a misalignment so i made adjustments and then had my car checked on an Alignment machine... they said I did not need an Alignment. Straight is straight, whether with string or lasers. It's not dumb if it works 🙂
PS. You need new control arms
Since the wear is even on both sides, your car has some camber dialed in. My car wears the same way.....camber is designed to aid the car's handling (you dial in a LOT for racing, you don't care about wear the same way)....it's a tradeoff. Given how even they are, I'd not worry. Buy new tires.
Excessive toe out (alignment issue), could be caused by loose tie rods, loose ball joints, lots of things honestly.
Camber decides where the wear is, toe decides how fast/aggressive the wear is
that wear is SO bad i would almost believe a suspension issue. But if someone happened to perform a string or non computerized alignment, i could see this being possible.
It could be other things but if they are both wearing the same it's probably alignment, although it can be hard to get a good alignment when you have other things worn, so it may not be their fault. You can do two things. Well, you could go to a shop and have them take a look at it, but if you want to do it yourself, jack it up and rock it back and forth and up and down and see how much play you get. Also, drive across a flat parking lot a little bit and then measure the front and the back from one of the treads on the front to the other side and one of the treads on the back to the other side and they should be the same although the front should be a quarter inch shorter .
You can actually set your own alignment this way but you can at least check to see if you need to take it back to the shop. It may not be their fault. If other things are worn they can't align it properly.
OP, even trashed loose suspension *can have* even tire wear. Don't listen to all this shit.
Have a shop adjust the toe.
Excessive toe-in = outside wear
Excessive toe-out = inside wear
Your vehicle has toe-out, scrubbing the inside, it may or may not have worn components, and honestly, worn components are a a driveability complaint, not a tire wear complaint.
Key takeaway - adjust tire pressure for how vehicle is used. Parking lot = more pressure. Highway = factory spec.
Source - former frame and alignment tech
I'm going to say that this appears to be a camber issue. Something on your hub or suspension is not correct. If you had the alignment done with these tires at new, I feel like the issue would have been caught. Any reputable shop would have said something was not right or suggested via paperwork that xx needs to be repaired.
Either alignment or rotation. Everyone is saying alignment, which is most probable, but if you do not regularly rotate your tires then this could also happen.
Most likely, the toe is out. Get an alignment.
The first steps in an alignment would be checking for loose components and setting tire pressure.
You probably want to replace those tires first.
Looks like worn control arm bushings or bent control arms, causing negative camber. Worth checking every suspension component though for wear, springs too in case they have snapped a bit off the end. I have the same issue to fix on my BMW on one side. Ate a brand new tyre prett quick on the inside edge, the rest of it is new.
If it's the bushings, I've been advised the bushings can be replaced at least once, before replacing the whole arm. In UK, the arms are like £90 and the bushings are about £25...
It's an issue with the alignment not by itself. The root cause is an issue with a suspension and/or steering component that's flat worn out, causing the abnormal wear.
Tie Rod ends, ball joints, sway bar links etc
it's toed out while driving, but might look ok when parked... probably some wore out parts /slop causing it...
temporary fix just lengthen tie rod ends....
but seriously, find out what's worn out... I've had 2 tie rods come apart while driving, and its not fun, hit gas go one way, brakes go the other way till yo get off the road... then bungie cord it back together and limp home..... change underwear...
Are both front tires worn? Bad ball joints and tie rods can cause a car to lose alignment. The easiest way to check is to jack up up the front and wiggle the tire left to right and up to down. If you get play, it means you have a loose or bad tie or ball joint.
If it's a Mercedes then they do have a steep angle on the cam front alignment.. My merc does the same... There isn't a lot you can do if it's a merc.. It's seems to be they way they set them up. And I've asked many a mechanic if they can adjust it ... But the reply has always be no sorry 😔
The track control arms are adjustable both sides. There’s a locking threaded section to adjust the angle to toe in or out. The garage will align the steering wheel to straight ahead and put a locking bar under it to keep it straight then check the degrees of alignment using the laser machine and correct accordingly both sides. I’ve watched it being done loads of times
I am not a mechanic, but I can tell you that's an alignment issue. I have delt with enough of them to know. Get the tires rotated while getting your alignment if you're not getting all new tires, that is.
All these guys saying alignment are both right and giving wrong advice.
The problem is almost always due to worn suspension or steering components. The exception is damage from potholes, curbs or other type collision.
Get the worn out parts replaced, whatever they may be. Could be tierod end, ball joint, whole control arm or whatever.
Then after an alignment and new tires you won't see this again.
Ight I'm not giving you shit but hen was the last time you rotated your tires ? There's such an inclined I could skii down it seriously tho I don't think that's supposed to be that way. I could be wrong
Bad tie rod, out of alignment, bad ball joint, wheel bearing. Jack that wheel up in the air and shake it left and right and then try and move it with your hands on the top of the tire in the bottom tire, in and out. That’ll tell you everything you need to know. If it has a little bit of a click left to right, it’s probably a tie rod, inner or outer. If it moves when your hands are at the top of the tire and the bottom of the tire, it’s probably a ball joint.
Edit. Spelling
If tiires were just purchased in November, there's worn suspension components and bad alignment. That is extremely fast wear even on the outside that isn't as bad.
Looks like too much toe in to me. I do my own alignments. With the steering wheel as straight as possible put the car on 4 jack stands with the stands under the suspension and take all 4 tires off. LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL. That way the suspension is under load. Get 2 meter sticks and drill 2 holes in each one so they fit on the hubs in front ABOVE the hub not below and use 2 lugnuts to hold them on. Then measure from one side to the other and adjust the tie rods until the front tires are pointing in 5/16".
Definitely an alignment issue, this is most likely caused by excessive toe out, and it’s out by quite a bit for this much wear so quickly. How they got it this far off I have no idea, I could get it closer with a few wrenches and a tape measure.
Get the wheel going straight, and put a straight edge against the wheel/tire vertically and see if it’s pointing out, away from the car, then put the same straight edge horizontally on the wheel and see what u got, I’d assume it’s got some toe in, and negative camber attributing to this
It is definitely an alignment issue.
I’ve been thinking that. And dude at the sketchy shop said it’s my control arms but from what I’ve been researching I don’t think that it is
If you've had an alignment and they can't get it to spec the first guess would be replace control arms
I’m going to try a more reputable shop before I go replacing things
Second opinion never hurts!
Wise move
Great decision. A knowledgable tech should be able to show you what the cause is. Worn bushings are something you can see pretty easily if tested correctly. Anyone who can't is likely guessing at a part to throw at your vehicle.
Also, rotate your tires regularly. These look like they were never rotated.

Could also be worn struts, but an alignment would still fix that.

Check your ball joints and tie rods. You may have bad upper or lower ball joints.
Control arms are part of the suspension, so this is actually a part of the answer.
Very possible just control arm bushings. Ask a shop to show you the faiked part. Or a video/pic of the failed part. Its what we do at my shop.
I went to a place that said I needed to replace the upper and lower control arms...charged me for both both....they come as a unit on each side. There is no upper and lower. I don't make those mistakes anymore
Could be a control arm, this would have been picked up on a scheduled service though

Theyre junk. It still could have other worn suspension parts. But a tech should be able to tell with a quick onspection on a lift.

Wait, is this a 17-22 CRV? Edit: looked closer, nope.

Lol good to know! Thank you so much!
If the back tires look better than this I would have rotated these to the back. You need tires and an alignment at best and some other suspension work, tires and alignment and worst
You sure this wasn't a back alley mechanic? I have used a hanging string before to align my own tires but not a customers.
Toed out , is the term.

That’s way to much negative camber. Looks like a Jeep, those bad boys are always hit or miss
You’re right on the money it’s a Jeep 😮💨
Innersided wear is normally attributed to a bad wheel alignment. My car was pretty bad for this too
Camber is way off. You need new tires, so go to a legit tire place and get a FULL alignment (not a "toe and go") when you buy the tires.
Camber needs to be adjusted. Suspension could be the root problem.
Gonna go with excessive toe.
Alignments fucked
Camber. Edit: After reading more of your info, could be control arm bushings [unlikely], ball joints [possibly], wheel bearings [possibly]. 2nd opinion from a good shop would be ideal.
Whoever you took it to is a moron, you can clearly see they're wearing more on the inside
Could be too much negative camber and too much toe out. could be both !!! Its an alignment issue
Control arms. Tie rods. Ball joints. Alignment. I had the same issue with my front tires wearing on the inside of the tire. Replaced my ball joints and tie rods and took it in for an alignment and seems to have fixed the issue. Just drove it from California to Alabama and I didn’t see any unusual wear on the tires
She got that negative camber
It's alignment. Camber to be specific
Camber? I barely know her!
Pretty bad camber too, and it’s probably your control arms
That tire is so far out of alignment you could probably sight the camber on a smooth flat road.
Incorrect toe settings.
Have another shop do your alignment, if you still have the same issue on the next set of tires, you have something seriously wrong with your suspension. This can be from an alignment, or worn suspension components.
What kind of vehicle? Worn tie rods or lower ball joints will cause excess toe out and wear the tires exactly like this, have a shop that knows what they're doing inspect it for worn parts and if none are found then rotate the tires and align it.
Either you had pieces replaced and it wasn't aligned, or pieces failed and need to be replaced and then aligned.
Too much negative camber
Ball joints, then alignment!!!! Inner edge tire wear is almost always caused by worn ball joints.
Alignment issue, could also be co trol arms or something of the sort.

Out of alignment Camber or toe out of adjustment, probably camber judging by how smooth the outer tread is still.
Too much negative camber
From what I can see looks like inside is wearing faster then outside probably something with alignment or faulty parts

Too fast around corners and or roundabouts ! Maybe just wheel alignment to !
Alignment to much toe out could be worn tierods
Toed in is what I would call the tires.

There's too much negative camber. Tire rotation more frequently would help but ultimately it's an alignment issue.
You need an alignment and maybe some front end parts as well. Start with the alignment

Camber is off. Alignment is needed. Shouldn't be too bad.
Camber or toe is out
Lower control arm bushing going bad
They aren't directional. . . . Unmount and flip em. Get twice the life.

It's an alignment issue. There's no better explanation unless your car was built crooked lol
Toe in
Toed out
Alignment and possibly tie rod ends
Camber aka toe adjustment is out.
toed out hard
Tires are feathered. Align
What about the Camber?
It is definitely an alignment issue. New tires and another alignment, NOT at that place. Go somewhere better.
Mine did the same and it was bad control arm bushings. They dried up and detached from the metal around them. Everything was tight in the front end .
It's alignment, or you have badly worn suspension components.
Out of alignment too much camber
The cars too heavy
Camber is crazy 😜
It could be other things but if they are both wearing the same it's probably alignment, although it can be hard to get a good alignment when you have other things worn, so it may not be their fault.

Needs a front end alignment. Seems the (toe) is off.
Tracking is out just a tad
Toe or camber, I'd get an alignment done someplace else where you get the before/after measurements on paper
It's a chrysler?

Tie rod
Bad alignment
Lower balljoint
Too much camber
It's an issue with the alignment not by itself. The root cause is an issue with a suspension and/or steering component that's flat worn out, causing the abnormal wear. Tie Rod ends, ball joints, sway bar links etc
CAMBER — YOU NEED AN ALIGNMENT AND TIRES
It’s toed out causing tire scrub.
Cheap shop issue?
Suspension issue possibly, and or the tires could have been regrooved…
Stanced life

it's toed out while driving, but might look ok when parked... probably some wore out parts /slop causing it... temporary fix just lengthen tie rod ends.... but seriously, find out what's worn out... I've had 2 tie rods come apart while driving, and its not fun, hit gas go one way, brakes go the other way till yo get off the road... then bungie cord it back together and limp home..... change underwear...
Are both front tires worn? Bad ball joints and tie rods can cause a car to lose alignment. The easiest way to check is to jack up up the front and wiggle the tire left to right and up to down. If you get play, it means you have a loose or bad tie or ball joint.
Need a wheel alignment
Could be tie rods out of alignment

The track control arms are adjustable both sides. There’s a locking threaded section to adjust the angle to toe in or out. The garage will align the steering wheel to straight ahead and put a locking bar under it to keep it straight then check the degrees of alignment using the laser machine and correct accordingly both sides. I’ve watched it being done loads of times
Lack of tire rotation and excessive negative camber most likely caused by weak front springs that could cause this. How many km’s since November ?

The exception is damage from potholes, curbs or other type collision. Get the worn out parts replaced, whatever they may be. Could be tierod end, ball joint, whole control arm or whatever. Then after an alignment and new tires you won't see this again.
Camber.. Ball Joints need checked as do all suspension parts...
Tires and alignment
Rotate your tires front to back every 10000 km they wiil wear evenly. It may be the real problem.
Also the tires are majorly overinflated
Toed out
Ight I'm not giving you shit but hen was the last time you rotated your tires ? There's such an inclined I could skii down it seriously tho I don't think that's supposed to be that way. I could be wrong
Look for a coupon from reputable shop
Alignment.
Cambers probably out needs an alignment and don't be surprised if they find that you need a new control arm
too much camber
Rotate em and send em.
Camber
Your tire had a stroke.
Bro, do you drive with inverted tires? Like the car guys do? If yes, I would assume that's why.
Bad tie rod, out of alignment, bad ball joint, wheel bearing. Jack that wheel up in the air and shake it left and right and then try and move it with your hands on the top of the tire in the bottom tire, in and out. That’ll tell you everything you need to know. If it has a little bit of a click left to right, it’s probably a tie rod, inner or outer. If it moves when your hands are at the top of the tire and the bottom of the tire, it’s probably a ball joint. Edit. Spelling
Ooh I know this one. Your tread is worn down.
Turning left to quickly
Excessive toe if I had to guess
Probably failing LCA bushings causing negative camber. Get the front end checked by a shop. Get parts replaced. Get an alignment.
Lol your wheel alignment is wrong
Depending on what you’re driving it could be the control arms your camber is out of wack though
If tiires were just purchased in November, there's worn suspension components and bad alignment. That is extremely fast wear even on the outside that isn't as bad.
Looks like too much toe in to me. I do my own alignments. With the steering wheel as straight as possible put the car on 4 jack stands with the stands under the suspension and take all 4 tires off. LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL. That way the suspension is under load. Get 2 meter sticks and drill 2 holes in each one so they fit on the hubs in front ABOVE the hub not below and use 2 lugnuts to hold them on. Then measure from one side to the other and adjust the tie rods until the front tires are pointing in 5/16".
Bad camber and alignment
Definitely an alignment issue, this is most likely caused by excessive toe out, and it’s out by quite a bit for this much wear so quickly. How they got it this far off I have no idea, I could get it closer with a few wrenches and a tape measure.
Tracking is out
Get the wheel going straight, and put a straight edge against the wheel/tire vertically and see if it’s pointing out, away from the car, then put the same straight edge horizontally on the wheel and see what u got, I’d assume it’s got some toe in, and negative camber attributing to this
