How to Self-Adjust Inner Edge Tire Wear on Front Wheels?
2 Answers
Lift the front wheels, make markings, and begin measuring the toe-in value. Then, adjust the toe-in value by modifying the length of the tie rod according to the manufacturer's specifications. Inspect and adjust the wheel hub bearings. The camber angle can be regulated by adjusting the tightness of the bearings. For independent suspension structures, shim adjustments can be used to address the issue.
I've driven quite a few cars before and encountered the issue of inner front tire wear several times. This is mostly caused by incorrect wheel alignment, such as improper toe settings or worn suspension components. What you can do to adjust it yourself: First, check if the tire pressures of all four tires are consistent and meet the standard, as uneven pressure can lead to uneven wear. Then, inspect the suspension system by shaking the wheels to feel for any noticeable looseness, such as damaged control arms or tie rods. Next, if you have the right tools, you can loosen the tie rod lock nut on the wheel with a wrench and slightly turn the adjustment rod to fine-tune the toe angle, but this is only a rough temporary fix. It's best to measure the difference between the front and rear edges of the left and right tires with a tape measure before driving to roughly judge the alignment. Finally, it's recommended to regularly rotate the tires for maintenance to prevent the wear from worsening and affecting handling. Remember, safety first—if you lack experience, it's better to go to a repair shop for professional alignment.
