So my two front tires are wearing out rather quickly on the inner edge. I've replaced the bearing, but you can tell by looking at the the tire that its running at slight angle and not square to the ground.

I also get a very noticeable vibration around 45-50 mph. Bent/shot tie rods? Alingment issues? It doesn't dart all over the road, I can take my hand off the wheel and it doesn't pull, it tracks pretty true.

While I had the truck jacked up and before I replaced the bearings I grabbed the tire both on the top and bottom. No excess wiggle was noted, it prob didn't even need the bearings replaced:doah:

Any ideas, I'd really like to figure this one out.

thanks
 
The only real alignment tweak is the toe. If all the other parts are good, make sure the toe-in is about 1/8"-1/4".
