Front tires wearing funny
I have a 2000 F350 Dually 2wd Lariat with the 7.3 liter Power Stroke and only 41,000 miles. My front tires have been replaced twice now because they are wearing funny and getting chewed up. The rear tires are the original ones from the factory but the fronts get so bad that the vibration comes up through the steering wheel and they make a horrible sound on the road.
Its was aligned with the last set of fronts.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Boomer.

Ditto Monsta's question, where is the wear on the fronts?
Possibilites include sway bar bushings (replace with Energy Suspension No. 4.5186), the shocks are shot or set too soft if you have adjustables, or the ball joints need replacing. Your alignment shop should have caught the ball joints though.

Thanks for the replys.
The shocks are new, only 5000 miles and tires wear still funny.
On both front tires, the tread wear is as if the alignment is way off but the alignment is fine. My tire guy can't tell what the problem is, Toe, Caster, Camber.
I was told this is a common thing for ford 2 wheel drive duallys. Is it a tire rotation problem maybe?
