So recently with my '95 accord the front tires are wearing fast. Like within a month or so. I can't specifically tell what kind of wear I have (pictures will be attached), but I suspect a camber issue. And I've heard that this gen accord gets a bent front knuckle sometimes that'll throw off camber enough to cause this much wear. But I wanna know yalls opinion because I cannot source a new knuckle anywhere and I'm hoping its not a bent knuckle. Don't even know how id figure that out if it was. Also my tire size is 205/55/r16 on 17 inch rims (bought it with that kind of wheel rim combo)
So this was May 16th when i first noticed the wear on my tires. (Left tire pictured)
After seeing this i replaced the fronts and yesterday (6/4) the wear got so bad without me noticing that my right tire popped. Took pictures of the wear to the tires. First four will be the right tire the other 3 the left tire.
These pics are the left tire
But yeah let me know what yall think the wear is from. I wouldn't doubt it being camber or toe, as the ball joints and bushing are all old like theyre probably still oem, But I have replaced the power steering rack before all this started happening, and I tried to keep the car aligned as best as I could without an alignment machine

Reason: Adding infomation
Well, firstly, your tires are dry rotted to hell. Second, your car needs a professional inspection of it's suspension. That last picture has a clearly ruined ball joint boot and I have no doubt the rest is completely worn out, probably couldn't keep an alignment if the car got one.
Looks like a toe in issue.
With the steering wheel pointing straight ahead, look at the front wheels, do they look like they are steering in towards each other?
Have you hit a pothole or smacked a curb prior to the tire wearing?
Older dry rotted tires will wear much faster as well. If buying used tires, cracked tires are crap.
