Default tires worn on inside

While replacing my wheel bearing I noticed both front tires are worn on the inside , one lower ball joint has a little movement but not much, I knw it needs shocks which I ordered today because mine are shot, feels like no weight on them at all. Also got fluid on my rack and pinion boots. Could the shocks cause the tire wear? Its got too much chamber from the way its worn, still has tire squealing around corners, but will almost travel in a straight line

Improper Camber and toe in/out will weartires on inside. A very bad wheel bearing may also show this wear. Once all joints have been inspected and replaced as necessary an alignment is in order. Bad shocks will not necessarily wear tires on inside. A sign of bad shocks is usually cupping in tire tread.

I replacdd passenger side bearing, ordered drivers side tonight, just gonna go ahead and replace it, drivers side lower ball joints zerk is broke off and thats the one with a little movement, gonna replace it and bearing at same time and new shocks. Would a failing rack and pinion cause the uneven wear since its leaking a little. Its puzzling since both tires are like that
