Inner tires wasting.
Inner tires wasting.
Whats up ppl. Just noticed my front 2 tires are wasted in the inner side. Both of them evenly. Any ideas before I start buying pieces. Steering doesnt shake when im going 65 or better. Little puzzled.Thanks

You got pics? Is your ride lowered or do you have after market wheels or bigger wheels than stock? As much info as you can provide will be helpful.
What he said ^^^^^^.
On a stock suspension, it's going to most likely be worn suspension parts- tie rod ends, ball joints, control arm bushings, strut mount, something like that.
jack the car up and shake around on the thing- see what's loose. If you find play in anything, then there's your problem.
The big issue is the suspension is 20 yrs old on this car, so everything is likely worn/mostly worn out and ready for replacement.
figure out what's broken... replace it, then get an alignment.
If you don't know how to swap the stuff out or how to check the suspension (there's a bazillion threads out there on how to check it out.), then it may be best to take it to a decent alignment/suspension shop, and they will usually do a free inspection of the suspension and give you a repair estimate before you commit to anything.

Well I got new tires. While they jacked the car looked and shooked the tires to see if there was any slack. The tire guy also checked. Nothing major.Anyway went for an alignment today. Guy didnt bother. He said I needed lower ball joints. No charge. Manage to put 1 ball joint today was to late. Had to be the lower ball joints because it was the inner tire that was wasted. Will do the other tommorrow or this week.
Will inform how it works out.

yeah reminds me that Ive got to replace my driver side ball joint, along with the cv joint, may as well do them both since im gonna have the thing torn down. Where can I get a sealed ball joint. The last one I got from autozone required lots of grease to fill. and I had grease all over the thing.( probaly because I forgot to put the things on top and bottom of the boot) lol.

I got mine from Napa and I didnt have any problems with it. Not a lot of grease was required either
