Is it possible for a car's alignment to be within spec

mys_iii · 03-01-2014, 03:25 PM

but for the tires on one side to wear unevenly? I hope this is not a silly question. I had an alignment done on my car but the left side tires are wearing unevenly.

Thanks

Sure, check your tire pressures. If you've got low pressure on that side its going to eat through your tread.

Shocks or suspension parts worn?

I guess I hit a pothole or something and threw my suspension out of whack.
