Default Camber wear front tire question

Hi guys, here's what's strange. Ride height is good, outer edge front tires wearing.

In the past I just replaced the upper shock mount. Where else can I look to fix this?

Thanks,

John

Wheels probably need to be balenced, mine wore really bad on the inside and it turned out they where just out of balance a lot.

Tracking is out ..they are running toe in so the outer edge rubs. You need to find the right figure and take it to a shop to have it adjusted . Usually the length of the track rod is in your case shortened. Check when you get it back that the steering wheel is still central in straight-ahead driving . Lazy shops only do one side
