On my 01 dakota front driver side tire I noticed the outside area wearing more than other area.Is that a sign the camber,upper control is off ?
it drives perfectly straight an stwering wheel is staight ,an it dodent go to the left or right.as driving at all speeds.


I did do a small alighment to get steering wheel straight months ago .

I also have new upper lower ball joints tie rods am bushings.
What should i look at? ...its on outter left area.

I likely will need to take to shop for computerised alignment.

 

Yeah, have someone throw it on an alignment rack, and see what it looks like. Probably a camber issue.

 

It might just be the angle of the pic but that tire looks like its separating on the inside edge. If that is the case it needs to be replace ASAP. Is it an old tire?

 

Good point,but its made into tire ,it was on both sides but of coarse its gone on worn side.,an you can see it stops where tread is an then continues in next tread,then stops,etc

..
Its hancook an not too old.
Is camber only adjustable, to get it right,on the alighnment machine?

 

I meant the whole tire looks out of round. Is the low side almost gone while the high side nearly full? Camber is adjusted on the control arms. Its best to have an alignment done by the machine. Keep in mind though if its that far out it could mean you have a control arm bushing damaged. They aren't the worst to do but you will need a press/press kit.

 

Oh yes,I remember changing them out with the big bushing removal tool well , an with the side nuts retorqued to almost 160ft lb..-a pain!..I guess its off the marks from replacing the bushings.
