Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting alignment/suspension problems

what could be wrong with the alignment/suspension of my car if the inside of my tires are wearing a LOT faster than the outside? is that the toe? or the camber? toe is when the tires point inwards, like duckfeet, right? and camber is when they're slanted vertically? and its worse on the drivers side than the passenger side. i have 82k miles on my car. also, whats a good value for a summer tire? i cant afford to spend a boatload, but i dont want to sacrifice quality.

My alignment was FUBAR when I was driving around on shot control arms (the bushings). Even when it was aligned, the inside of the front tires wore FAST (alignment would not hold). When I replaced them and had the car put on the rack, there was LOTS of negative toe (toe in, I believe). Negative toe looks like this: / \ (imagine looking from the front of the car).

Toe is the only adjustable part of the suspension settings on the CDW27 platform in stock form.
