In Reply to: Rear S/F bushings cause excessive tire ware? posted by Ed on May 06, 2000 at 21:03:23:

What do the tires wear patterns look like? Tire "reading" will indicate likely causes. Could it be worn sub-frame bushings? This a part that needs to be changed every 100K miles. I would think that those could be a possible culprit. Regardless of the cause, it is essential to keep tire pressure set to factory specs. I fill mine with the same overinflation as they were underdeflated (usually with in 3 to 4 lbs.) In that way average factory pressure is maintained causing perfect wear across the tread. Check tire pressure at least once a month.
