Thread: Inner rear tire wear

There are no ball joints in the rear.

Also, are those tires bald?

Have you continued to buy the same tires?

That place is a disgrace. They told me good luck, more or less.

Let me make sure I'm understand you. You are replying to the guy that said that ball joints could be the issue, not making the statement that they look to be completely shot right?

The edge is worn through the steel in some sections, the driver's side seems to be the worst. The rest of the tire has plenty of tread left.

No, I've purchased three different sets of tires from three different places. This set seems to have lasted a shorter time than the others, but I don't know if that's because the tire brand or because whatever the issue is is getting worse.

I've read so many threads here about this, some saying this is normal for these cars, some saying that it's alignment and that you need to specify that the toe needs to be fixed when you go in, some that its control arms, etc. I'm just tired of dealing with it. Is there a specific type of place to take it, or certain tests I can do to figure this out? I assumed the dealer would be the best pace, and obviously that was a joke. I went from owning a first gen Eagle Talon that had very few issues, and such a huge cult following that the ones I did have could be fix easy, to trying and scrounge for even the simplest answers for this car. This community seems to be great, but there isn't much for the older generations as far as I can find. Again, thanks for any and all help with this.
