06 Excessive outside tire wear both sides!

[Mike2035]

Ok I have an 06 trailblazer, that is getting excessive tire wear on the outside. I have had to replace the wheel hubs on both sides and both tie rod ends. The outside wear on the tire is going fast. How can I adjust it myself? Do I do it from the tie rod? Replacing front tires is killing me. Thanks!

You really need to get it professionally aligned. I prefer Hunter alignment machines and a tech who knows how to operate the machine. I use goodyear here locally. Only shop I use for alignment. If you decide them, go online. They usually have coupons/specials etc. If you want to try and do it yourself, google DIY alignment.

Two main reasons for wear on the outsides of the front tires: Excessive positive camber, and excessive toe-in. There are other causes--carrying too much speed into corners can do it, among other things--but camber and toe are the main ones.

Replacing the tie rod ends improperly could result in excessive toe-in.

Whether camber or toe, you need it aligned. I care less about the equipment than I do about the person using it. It's getting harder to find a competent alignment tech.
