Excellent video! Many videos from tire shops just tell you you have uneven wear and something is wrong but FAIL to explain the reasons and educate the people. Thank you!
My son’s 08 Taco had similar front tire wear. We ended up replacing the entire front end suspension with new struts, upper/lower control arms, and inner/outer tie rods. No Uneven wear after 3500 miles 👍 Thank you for your videos 👌🏼
Thanks ALOT. I have 02 Prerunner with same tire issue. I've changed everything exc ot upper & lower control arm. And upper ball joint (R). Bought another set of tires and your information was very helpful.
In the first generation 1995.5-2004 Tacomas, a known weak link in the front suspension is the LOWER ball joint. Catastrophic failure of these does occur, and they should be replaced every 100,000 miles with OEM ball joints.
Did u find out which arms (if any) were causing this? My b8 A5 had the same issue on drivers side. Sounds a little noisy over rough patches in the road. Replaced both bottom arms but it's neither of those. Thinking maybe the upper arms but I'm not looking forward to taking the pinch bolt out 😂
On my 2021 Taco both outer side of tire showing wear. Its about even on both front tires. It could be misalignment or component wear.... Time to do some inspection. This video really help..
Im assuming this is true when looking for culprits in a 2006 Rav4 4. Got uneven front tire wear. Lower ball joint was replaced a year ago but I failed to inspect any of the suspension when I did the replacement.
When the control arm bushings get loose, I throws off camber, castor and toe-in/toe-out alignments. Toyota uses great rubber but time and environment eventually kills all rubber things.
Could lower control arm bushings cause the tire to severely wear on the outside edge? This is what is happening to my tires in the front and the mechanic said it was the lower control arm bushings.
Yes it can. What can happen if the lower control arm bushings are bad is it can cause the control arm to push in excessively (towards the engine) when you turn. This can cause the camber to shift to a positive. Excessive toe-in is also a common cause as well
Let's say the power steering was leaking, would that cause the truck to pull to one side and wear the tires? That's my current situation with my 07 Tacoma.
@@ch1959 I didn't even need to change any suspension parts but have bought a new set of tires before, and did not do an alignment, did rotations every other oil change. Wore through those 30k tires in a year/12k. Never pulled. And I wasn't drifting. Front drive Lexus. People want to save $100 in alignment but lose many hundreds in new tires, smh, people don't think!!

I hope I don’t have to do that much, I can’t afford it
Great walk through of the different parts that could effect alignment and, in turn, tire wear.
Great video explaining which parts are part of alignment and which are not .
Always learning with you Peter, thanks for everything.
Thanks for walking through inspection, naming parts and their function.
Excellent explanation and specific walkthrough of the components.

Great content as usual. Thanks Petr!

Really good. This is helping me narrow down the cause of similar tire wear on an Audi A4 B8 with severe inner shoulder tire wear.

Great video for us amateurs.
I would have started to suspect that something got bent, causing the tire wear.
Yes sometimes accident or they get too old
Glad this guy made it to you before that tire disintegrated on the highway!

Time to do some inspection.
This video really help..
Awesome as usual!
Amazing. 25 year old truck but only lost 6000 or so in depreciation. Goes to show how good these cars are.
Yeee let’s get the story on what happen to the scion TC please
Good movie..Thanx.
Excellent explanation! Thank you! My 2001 Chevy Astro tires have the same wear….now I know where to inspect 🫵✔️👍
I would like to know what the toe-in/toe-out was on that Taco.
ball bearing also afect alignment in those trucks. you should check all.
I need to replace inner tie rod end on my 1999 Toyota Corolla LE so I will replace outer tie rod end also.
Excellent explanation. Pity it’s in a Scandinavian dialect! (Just kidding, best front end diagnosis on YT. Well done.)

I need more manual 1999 - 2004 Tacoma 2.4L base
Where is map sensor on my 2005 Corolla S? please I looked all around intake manifold
Nice garage 👍👍❤

Maybe if the time rods are messed up.. is it leaking from the rack ?
@@chitoflores4799 yes, very slow leak from the passenger side rubber boot.
0:23 is that geese I hear in the background? Lol
💯💯
This is what's going on with my tires on the front end of the right-hand driver-side there are eating my ties up from the inside
Assume after the ball joint fix// There is an alignment in the future??
I would drive it and see. If it drives without pulling. I would like to save the $110.
You should always realign after replacing a critical part like a LCA bushing. You won't always have a pull when the camber is out.
@@ch1959 That is not true. It is only true in theory. I have done that after replacing control arms and sway bar links without doing alignments.
