so ive got a 91 f250 that likes to wear on the outside of right front tire. the truck is actually kinda nose heavy so you would think that it would wear on the inside, but it seems to be getting smoother and smoother on the outside. im about 90% certain its not an alignment issue because the truck drives strait as an arrow and it doesnt handle funny at all. the drivers side is wearing normal, and i know for a fact it's not because it's under inflated because i run about 60 psi in front at all times and 70 out back. does anyone have any ideas what the fritz is up with my truck???
the one side wear. but its on the outside, like the truck is over sprung, and when you look at it, it sits heavy, and common sense would say that it would wear on the inside.
Take the weight off the wheels, pick it up by the frame letting the front suspension hang free, check the ball joints and IFS axles arm pivot bushings.
take that $100 bucks and get yourself some jackstands and go out for dinner somewhere nice. If you have to jack it up on dirt just use some strong wood boards to make a flat surface for the jackstands to sit on before you let it down on them.
lol. im a college student. if i even had a $100, id put it towards new tires. diesel_brad, if its an alignment issue, why dont i have bad handling characteristics? there is no pull or push in either direction, and bumps dont put me screwy. also itd have to push the tire in or forward somehow. unless the beam is bolted to the axle crooked, a bad bushing would push the tire backwards, wearing on the inside. i suppose it could be toed in and thats why it drives down the highway so well...
