Tire cupping

[TheOking]

Hey guys maybe someone can shed some light here, my tires are cupping heavy on the inside tread, have had both lower ball joints done upper control arms done and alignment done each time, any ideas ?

How old are the tie rod ends? Has the whole front shaken vilolently at all in the past?

 

[TheOking]

To be honest im assuming they are still the same ones from factory I haven’t touched those yet I have sway bar links and all the rest of the front end parts just haven’t put them in yet

It may be a wise thing to have an alignment shop look it over again, and check for any play in the suspension or steering. Things can look intact and in fine shape, but over time a part wears without showing signs much. The tires are a good sign, if nothing has been done in a long time, something may be wrong.

Looks like worn tie rod, possible worn hub.

Might help to keep those tires rotated… (Cross rotate works for me… both fronts to rear. Left rear to right front/ right rear to left front.)

and keep tire pressures up.

Good luck.

My steering wheel has a bit of play in it, I used to run higher psi because my wildpeak at3’s are eater for 50 psi but that seemed to make them even worse so I aired them down that made it a bit more even but it’s still wearing, I’ve had her for five years and it didn’t do this at the start it’s started about two years ago out of nowhere

The tire shop I bring it to has never said anything to me about repairs being needed, they do the alignment and always can never get both from wheels exactly to where they are supposed to be there’s always a little too much camber from what I can tell
