My driver side tire has worn pretty badly after only little over 3k on new tires. The passager is worn more then the rear, but the driver side is maybe 1-2k from needing to be replaced.


I looked over the suspension without taking the wheel off (yeah I was rather lazy tonight). I noticed that I could move the front sway bar. No noises, but with a decent push it would flex from what I think are the sway bar "links". The connect from end of the bar and go upward. It was hard to tell by looking around the tire.

I was originally thinking I had a bad strut, but I was curious as to how "stiff" the sway bar should be.




v6 atx 76K on original suspension as far as I can tell.

Are the tires worn on the inside edge or the outside edge. Or are they worn on both edges. Outside edge = to much toe in, inside edge = to much toe out, both edges = underinflated tire.

You may have worn outer/inner tie rods.
