[QUOTE="bimmerman, post: 47273, member: 126"] Thanks Ehoe, I did have an alignment guy take a look at my undercarriage and all bushings did not show any signs of cracks or damage he says. Can worn bushings be confirmed visually anyway? If it's not the bushings then it must be worn springs or bad shocks like you said. My shocks arent at their best but I don't think it's the shocks because it only affects the left tire. How bad is your tire wear Ehoe? Is it comparable to my left tire wear or not as bad? Are they equal on both tires or does yours wear out severly on one tire and less on the other? I suspect it's possible that the tire wear on my car is caused by the car being lowered. Not by sports suspension but sadly by sagging rear springs. I understand that all cars have different camber settings on right and left sides so if a car is lowered, one side could still be within specs and won't cause pronounced wear while the other side is already over the specs causing severe wear. What do you think? :dunno: [/QUOTE]
