I've got an issue to resolve after trashing 2 sets of front tires. 1st time was of my doing, after getting the car aligned I decided to lower the car a bit more in the front and didn't think to have it realigned... my fault. After taking it back and having it realigned with new tires it drove excellent and seamed to be wearing evenly as far as I could tell so I called it done. Fast forward to this past weekend when I was washing it I noticed they're down to the cords on the insides AGAIN..
$300+ down the crapper... 12,000 miles and 2 sets of front tires is aggrevating especially when the rears are still good!!
So what gives? I put it on the lift and everything is tight, no slop, a arm bolts are all tight, etc. It's a 69 Charger with a completely new front suspension (12,000 miles) that utilizes 70s Bbody spindles for disc brakes and has tubular upper a arms.
I remember the last couple times I drove it something felt odd in the front but never found anything?? Has anybody ever had the a arm adjusters move on them? I did some research on using the late B body spindles and didn't see any issues with using them so I think they're fine. If I can't find something I'll find a new alignment shop and Mark all 4 of the adjusters so I can visually check for movement but outside of that I'm out of ideas.
