2000 Grand Prix GT Tire Problems

All, I replaced all four struts, got a four wheel alignment, and got a new set of tires mounted and balance a few months ago. I drive 130 miles round trip to work 5 days a week. I rotate the tires between 6 and 7 thousand miles. My tires are begining to wear uneven on the inside. I had the alignment rechecked to see if that was the probem; it wasn't. I had the front drivers side hub replaced because it was bad. I have no clue what to check next. If anyone has any recommendations I higly appreciate the information. Thanks in advance.

If the hub was very bad, it could cause unever tire wear. I had my car alightned, then found out my hub was bad, replaced it, and now the alignment is off because the car was aligned with a bad hub.

If the hub was just recently replaced, I would rotate again, and check the tires with a good hub on there after a few thousand.

What brand tires?

Get the camber specs and post. They may be borderline but passing alignment. Also, the toe-in specs.

definately get the before and after specs. Unfortunately, I have seen a lot of times the tech said they did a 4-wheel but only set toe, either because the rear nuts did not move freely or they were too lazy to do it. The bearing should have been caught and suggested repair prior to the alignment by any competent technician. You are definately having some sort of camber issue. Did you put in camber kits, or were the struts auged out? If neither of these were done the place doing the alignment is probably just setting toe, which will leave camber possibly out of or close to specs.
