Ok i am by no means a car expert, but i have alot of time to think and i can come up with some decent ideas....so we come to my question

I have ALOT of camber wear on both of my fron tires. Enough that when i bought new tires within 3 months of normal driving the inside was bald and showing metal.

Now i talked to the guys at discount tires and told them i want an alignment but they said i don't need it ( i seriously doubt that with New Mexico roads), the car isn't lowered, it had both axles bad (they would click on turns) and i think the shocks are pretty much dead. Also it has a salvage title so there could possible be front end damage i don't know about.

So all that listed what could cause my tires to get eaten up so freakin fast?

 

toe is out.

 

how is that fixed? my car is very dead but i just want to know so that it'll work better when i do drive her

So how do i fix it?

 

get an allignment. i made myself a tool so i can do it myself, but it is probally easieer to just take it smewhere. i made a tool because i change suspension setups so often.

 

so did the axles being bad have anything to do with it? in the book i have it said something about it. but it'll have new axles when i put in another engine

 

if the shocks are bad i would think it could have the same effect as a car thats lower. just a thought

Shocks absorb road imperfections ( bumps, potholes, big rocks) they have nothing to do on how the car sits, a bad spring can play a little role but unless there really bad your car will still be around its normal height. Axles do not play a role in an alignment, also when you say your inner tires are getting bald I think of camber before I think of toe.
