HELP! Uneven tirewear even after alignment!
After only 1,000kms my front tires are again completely bald on the inside. Ive had the alignment checked and fixed in two different shops. The car still pulls noticeably to the left even after the alignment.
Camber -1.5/-1.5
Caster (split) -.3
Toe 0/0
Now, I am guessing that when i get on the road thats when the alignment starts to go out of spec. Thats why the shop thinks its fine until i start driving out.
The lower ball joints, bushings and tierods are bnew. All other suspension parts checked ok. Tires/wheels have been rotated/checked/balanced.
The UCA balljoints are still intact but the rubber boot around it is torn.Will a busted/loose upper balljoint cause a MASSIVE change in alignment??
Ive read that toe out will cause the inner part of the tires to wear. So i must have a great deal of toe out. (?)

But you said the shops you took it to checked all the front end parts...

This tells me that you have bad parts, my first guess would be a wheel bearing.
Toe in causes inner shoulder wear. Honda spec wants it to be at 0. Wheel alignment is not your issue, it's your bad parts. Do you have SAI readings along with Included Angle?
