unusual rear tire wear?

bandoni™ · 01-02-08, 12:36 PM

i got some strange tire wear issues on the rearend of my legend, the passenger side is almost bald on the inside. I have no pulling or vibration. I can usually diagnosis the front tire wear but the rear kind of has me stumped, any ideas why it would be this bad?

lol! mine does the same thing my tire shop told me its my rear control arms I took my car in to get an alignment they told me they couldn't do it because my rear control arms had play in them and it didn't make sense to align the car.

It's time for new strut assembly Mark

...cupping usually an indication of bad shock absorber.

lol what can i say, some times you just got to be a mad tyte jdm drifter yo!!

I checked the give of the struts this morning by pushing down on the rear end and it bounces up and down a few times ,so i take it my rear struts are shot no?

awelliott · 01-03-08, 12:07 AM

If it bounces a few times, then they're definitely shot. You're going to think you're driving a different car after you take care of that...

maybe somone installed a camber kit without you knowing and is all into that tokyo drift stuff

l4zy415 · 01-03-08, 02:18 AM

they have some diagram at firestone that states what is wrong depending on how your tires look.
