I going to have my alignment changed tomorrow because my front driver side tire is wearing on the inside. This is the second tire that I have put on the Jeep. Goodyear Run Craps of course.
I guess what i'm asking is.
Does anybody have a new alignment specs that prevents this from happening?
The shop i'm going to said that they can use settings that I provide.
Detailed informations would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

PM SENT. But just in case you missed it use all stock settings except the camber setting. Have them set the camber on both sides at -.25 degrees.

Negative camber is when the top side of the wheel is tilted inwards towards the car. If I recall correctly, the poster who said the -0.25 camber worked for him had the tire wear on the outside edge of the tire, thus relieving some of the weight of the vehicle from the outside edge of the tire. Your uneven wear is on the inside so maybe you need to go to a positive camber. I'm just pointing this out in the hopes someone else can make a more informed comment on what camber setting to choose.

Mine was -.75 degree from the factory. Stock setting on the camber are -.50 to -.60 degrees. I get mine checked once a yr and after we changed the camber setting i havnt had to change a thing. The toe in was right on and ive got 32000 miles on the jeep.
