Default Uneven Tire wear...need help

Ok, so i was under my car today, putting on my header, and tommorow im supposed to put in my springs...anyhow awhile ago, i railed my tires on a nasty cut in the road..blew both front tires...it sucked hardcore, those were my stockers by the way, just put my rims on a few weeks ago and started driving again,

try and follow me here, i have to have the wheel turned a little to the left to make it go straight..other than that it handles pretty much ok..little shaky sometimes, but easy to control...naturally, i figure its out of alignment

i was looking at my tires today, and the inside inch of each front tire [ the sides closest to the engine] are worn bad...everything in my suspension looks pretty solid, control arms and all that crap, so i'm gonna go get it aligned after i put my springs on...but do you think anything could be broken? or is it just in need of an alignment

probably just put out your camber , an align should cure that, If not then re-evaluate. I think you should always get an alignment when u lower a car so dont think its useless if it doesnt cure the problem. GL!

No your car is fine, according your description of the ride comfortability....The inner tire wear you are experiencing can be corrected by getting the alignment done asap n a front camber, don't bother with the back cambers....who needs extra washers anyway?

Sounds to me like he's still on stock suspension, in which case the toe is probably way off. If camber is off with stock suspension, something is definitely bent or broken. Check the steering tie rods, those are what is adjusted when the toe settings are adjusted, make sure those aren't bent or damaged.
