Left tire wearing quickly on inside and showing metal. Front end work, what would cause this.

Hey guys.

My truck runs and drives, but the front left tire, drivers side front tire, is wearing quickly. I changed all the tires at the same time and three of the them are fine, but the front left one is wearing out very quickly on the inside.

The outside of the tire looks great, but the inside has already worn down to the metal. What is causing this? Ball joints? It still drives down the road just fine.

Thanks everyone!

Negative camber could cause that. When is the last time you had it aligned?

It's been a few years. I was hoping to fix it at home myself.

Our front ends are tough to align at home. I still recommend a shop. You can "eyeball" align it, but that's only to get it from home to the alignment shop in my opinion.

Standing in front of your truck, is your drivers side tire leaning noticeably? Comparing your two front tires, do they pretty much match (straight vertical, when looking from the front)?
