Default abnormal tire wear

the inside of my front right tire is wearing away uber-fast.. I'm thinking it's my camber.. but it might be linked to another problem I'm encountering. Everytime my car shifts it's balance I can hear my right front spring going crazy, and it's not my shocks, I installed new KYB shocks last month.. it's actually been doing it for over a year. but anyway, anyone have any ideas about my tire wear?

CAMBER DOESN'T NOT CAUSE RAPID TIRE WEAR, TOE DOES
unless you have some crazy negative camber.

there ya go.

id say get an alignment, and if that doesn't help you have something bend in your suspension

h&r sport springs with a 2.25" drop in the front, and I haven't gotten my car aligned since I got it lowered almost a year and a half ago.

eh okay, so I'll go get my car aligned again :/ but anyway, I'm not sure if that's the problem, i'm thinking it is somehow related to the noise coming from my spring.

a noise is not gonna cause irregular tire wear unless the noise is warning you that something is broken and if it is and you havent noticed it for over a year it cant be that big of a problem. just get an alignment and call it a day.

I can't believe nobody has said: Are you sure it's your spring making the noise and not the CV joint? Does it make a clunk sound? Please explain the noise the best you can.
