Whys one tire wearing like this?
I noticed my front right tire is wearing weird all over. Its like chunks have been taken out and not a constant wearing issue. Again this is only on the front right. Could it be the ball joints are going? Thanks

After looking, my front right shock is shot. Theres no bottom bushing at all. Is this enough to cause this? I need to get my truck inspected this month so hopefully i can look into this a little more.

I still would inspect the front shackles where the springs bolt in, I still think it looks like a broken spring. If it is broken that would explain why one shock is bad and I assume your talking about the bump stop being almost gone. If a spring is broken it will not pass inspection. Poke around with a flashlight and look closely at the springs in front and behind the U bolts. Factory springs shouldn't look like that.
