Hi Guys. The outside of my front left tyre is badly worn as compared

To the rest of the tyres. The inside is ok. Just the outside is really worn.

Any ideas on what might be the problem?

Thanks!!

there is a possible mislignment and the toe in for the left camber might be extreme. Get an alignment done

Supercharged

Should be an alignment problem. I had the same problem a month ago - left front tyre going botak (inside/outside) while the other 3 still with plenty of tread.

To add. My steering abit pointing off centre. To the left.

It's alright if it's just an alignment problem.

Can it also be due to suspension problem?

Just trying to think of the possible problems.

If you rid is using Macpherson struts ( most Asia car do use such design) then you may have to restore to using camber bolts. For those cars using wishbone independent struts, the camber angle can be adjusted either with shims or offset bolts.

The wear pattern will be high low wear patches on the tyres if yr shock is faulty

Really? Then that's good to hear cos the botakness is very even.

Just hoping its not suspension or the whatever arm problem.

Will the camber "run off" by itself? Due to loose bolts?
