Default Good affordable structs?

alright i bought my car last september and when i did it already had coliovers on it, however i bought the car from a dealer ship in colorado springs. The coilovers were fine but a few months later my drives right tire was bald. So i bought new tires. Then 6 months later i rotated them only to knowtice that theres about a 1/2 tread diffrece from side to side. Well consdering that I dont have LSD. My power wheel is the right side. and well i was wondering that if my strut was bad would that be why. I am in school for automotive collison repair and i leard if that happens normally the strut is shot. With this in mind im buying new struts. i dont know the brand of the coilovers but im looking for new. Preferably an adjustable gas shock?? But tein is a little outtta my price line? Help please

i would suspect that you dont have a camber kit to correct the camber from lowering the vehicle with the coil overs.. thats probably why its wearing... and if you do have a kit i would get it alligned to see if it is off.

Might want to check if your toe angle is also off. Toeing out or in can cause irregular wear from side to side. A alignment will fix that right up. Check your tire pressure too

No i don't have a camber kit but my car is in aligned i got it check out in april, because i assumed that it was off but it was fine. The wheels are towed out to adjust for not having a camber kit. But I'll looking to finding a camber kit
