My Ram has some steering play and I noticed same tire wear I changed all of the tie rod ends, ball joints and the alingment done, Im gonna change the steering box next but does having some play in the wheel wear the tires?
Most tire wear from under/over infaltion,out of alighnment worn parts on the frontend or serious damage too the front end.Full inspection and R&R as needed.
Check your steering, mine were wearing like that and I needed a new tie rod end.
Go to an alignment place and ask them to check it out, they will tell you what you need. If you don't need anything, then it will just be an alignment for $60-80.
too bad you already did your tie rod ends...would have told ya to get the 08.5+ steering assembly upgrade...truck will drive way better with HD T-steering vs junk Y-steering.
These dodges are well known to have steering woes and excessive play/road wander.
Don't tell mine that. The thing tracks like it's on rails. I drove a few 2nd gens when they were new, and they tracked just fine, too. There's no reason to accept crappy steering.

I realize that now after having tight steering again. Before with the worn tie rod, steering play was pretty crazy and I thought I might need the rock solid bushing, turns out that tie rod end was bad since I bought the truck... Lol. Rides totally different now, and once my current bald tires are replaced, she will be driving like a Cadillac.
