Out of pure luck I noticed that the inside edge of my left front tire was worn to the cords.

My right front tire does not show even close to the same amount of wear as the left.

I just bought a full set of tires (at the recommendation of a few members here)

After new tires I had my alignment checked.

Do any suspension experts see anything on this printout that would have caused the excessive wear on the left front?? Is there anything in the "after" readings I should be concerned about for uneven tire wear??

they put you down to -1.2 which is the very outer acceptable limit (-1.1 with a max variation of .1).

Is your car lowered? Are you running modified camber plates?

Anything I can do to correct a camber problem?? New suspension bushings??

When I go get my car aligned; I know them, they take their time. Usually while I'm there, I help, I'm involved. Also they do about 2 cars in the other stall in the time it takes to usually do mine, only cause I want it right!

Since I live in a really small town (11k people) there aren't too many alignment shops around here. I had the car aligned at Les Schwab.

Do they regularly do Euro type cars?
