Rt front tire outer wear
Hi All,
I have a 95 F350 Crew Cab Dually 7.3-DI 108K-Miles. Orig owner.
My problem is I get uneven wear on the right outer edge of the front tire this has been going on for at least 3 different sets of front tires.. The inner edge and the left front tire will have plenty of tread left. Over the years I have had the alignment performed by a local Ford dealer as well as other shops. At times the alignment may be off a bit but I still get this same wear problem. The front shocks were replaced at about 20K miles.
I have jacked up the front end to check the ball-joints by wiggling the wheel back and forth with very little play if I could propose an amount maybe an 1/16"? The left wheel seemed about the same as the right.
I have heard front springs so how do I check those to see if they are the problem?
Could it be I need new front shocks since mine have about 80-90K on them?
I have also heard wheel bearings do I check those by wobbling the tire like I do to check ball-joints?
Thanks in advance...
Mike
