My two front tires have wear on the inside is that a sign of the suspension going? Also how long with the stock suspension last unitl performance starts to deteriorate. Thanks.

Well, when was the last time you had your tires rotated??

Im not a tire expert, but it may be caused by improper Camber settings.....

I rotate my tires every 6,000 miles, so I don't think its that, I don't anything about camber settings though, maybe thats it. thanks for replying

 

Your alignment is off. When you get new tires, make sure you have the toe reset.

When your car feels really soft and wallows around the road, it's time for new suspension components.

 

yep, i also think its the alignment. the 97 2.5 tl acura i was driving had the rear left tire on the inside all te way worn to where you can see the metal in the tires. we got the two rear tires changed and the mechanic said you need a 4 wheel alignment. alignment at sears was $60 but it had not been done yet since they needed to order an eccentric bolt so they could adjust the rear toe.

 

You should have the camber adjusted but you'll need some aftermarket parts to do it. You should order some camber adjustment bolts from "TireRack.Com" and have a good mechanic install them. They attach at the bottom of the front struts. The bolt is machined in an elliptical pattern so that adjusting the rotation changes the camber angle of the wheel.

You should run between negative 0.2 to negative 0.5 degrees camber. A slight toe-in of .050" on each tire is also good.

 

Or do what I did, and file the upper bolt holes in the struts so the
steering knuckle can lean outward more. I probably filed the holes
about 1mm towards the outside which was more than enough. Just
make sure the bolts are good and tight.
