#4 and #5 makes me think worn control arm bushings. I struggled with both problems (killing the inside of tires and impossible to hold an alignment) until I replaced my control arms. No problems for the last 6 months, and I check my tire wear every time I get under the car.




I absolutely agree. Lowering springs quickly make even slightly worn bushing much worse.

I had the BAT kit on my 95 LX. I replaced the control arms when I installed it and the handeling was terrific. No alignment problems even without the camber kit (though I did eventually install a camber kit when I bought new wheels and tires).
