are you at 24" or 23.75"?

I"m at 24" exactly after 2 weeks, but I've noticed something weird. my front two tires shows wear on the outer part of the tires. At first I thought this was because they are the front tires and perhaps on turns it is normal to see the outer part wear out faster. However, i'm beginning to think this is because at 24" maybe both front tires are not 100% at a perfect vertical angle and that might be why i'm experiencing this??

yes. I did the torsion bars, but the shocks/bump stops and alignment was done by pep boys.


i'm still confused about this. Tire wear on both sides is a sign of not enough air. tire wear in the middle means too much air. my front two show wear on the outer part of the tire (it's not extremely bad, but very clear if you look at the tire)

if i had an alignment, why would the outer part facing the road show more wear than the inner part? weird!

Well, mine show more wear on the outer edge of both fronts. It is not extreme by any means and is usually normal because of turning. I have had this on all my trucks.
Yeah post some pics so we can see how bad the wear is and I can let you know if it is more than what I am experiencing.

Can't learn if you don't ask questions. No need to be embarrassed. Mine is leveled right at 24" as well and I can see the beginnings of the wear on the outer edges of my front tires. I'm going to be rotating them every other oil change to try to keep the wear even...maybe even every oil change if the wear is too excessive.
