Okay when I bought the truck I was required to replace the lower and upper ball joints. Since then my tires have worn really fast but evenly across the whole tire. They wore down faster than they should have. Way faster like something is wrong. When I went to get new tires mounted and balanced the guy at mr. Tire said a front-end alignment would not fix the wearing issue. He mentioned something about an after-market camber part or something of this nature I'm not sure as I am not that familiar with suspension parts. Does anyone know of what he speaks of and give me some advice to fix the fast wearing issue on my front tires? Please help as I can not drive the truck much so my new tires don't get destroyed.

I had a 2000 with a body lift and the torsion bars cranked, with that I had to buy the camber alignment kit from napa. Once it was installed then I had to take it for the front end alignment and it fixed the issue

My truck is completely stock. But I'll look into it.

The caster/camber alignment is done with your upper and lower control arms. Along with a tweak on your tie rod. It is most certainly the problem you are having. You can look into other things to make your troubles easier. But I would take it to another shop. Sounds like the kid at mr tire is shuckin and jivin u. Good luck
