front alignment question
ok, you can see what my car is <-- and the problem is:
the steering pulls to the right, moderatly hard. Now the inside of the tread (part closest to the middle of the car) of the front left tire is wearing out faster than the outside, and the inside of the front right is doing it too, but not nearly as bad. Is this a toe, camber, or alignement problem, or a combination of the three? Aobut how hard is it to fix, and finally, could i switch the two front tires after ni've fixed the problem so that they wear correctly? Thanx for the help.

note: toe and camber problems are both types of alignment problems
Is the wear in a scalloped pattern, or is it pretty even all the way around? It sounds to me like it might be a toe problem (toe out)?

Your camber is out of adjustment. The top of the tire is closer to the vehicle when compared to the bottom of the tire. Thus pushing the car to the right like leaning on a motorcycle.

yeah, given that the wear is even, that sounds reasonable... now the question is whether or not camber is adjustable on that vehicle...
