My tires are leaning inward so the outside edge is being eatin away very badly. But I was told that my ls cant be aligned or adjusted. Can it and if not what might be a course of action for it? Is there a possibility that a wheel bearing that is supposed to be pressed on can be done without a press? Cause I have already payed 3 people to do it and nothing done yet I will if I can!

Hi mrobinson0974,

If the tires are leaning inwards, the inner part of the tires should be wearing off, why is it wearing the outer?

Camber and castor are non adjustable and if there are any faults, you should check for worn bushes, ball joints etc.

Insufficient tire pressure and hard cornerings will cause the front tires to wear off the outer part much faster than normal.
