Tire wear
Is anyone on here having trouble with excessive tire wear with narrowed control arms. I'm on my third set of tires with only 16,000 miles and the alignment has been set to factory specs..

Re: Tire wear
What are "narrowed" control arms? How are the tires wearing? Inside, outside, feathering, what?

Re: Tire wear
Can you post a pic with a ruler or tape measure next to one? And then in comparison with a stock control arm?

Re: Tire wear
Narrowed or not, if they're built for the application, installed properly and the resulting roller is aligned even close, the thing should not eat tires.
If it's not the parts or the install then it's the adjustments post install or some sort of use pattern that isn't compatible. Could also but very unlikely be the tires or even the wheels. Very unlikely. Hth, -klb
