so my 01 2wd gmt800 with torsion bar suspension, is wearing the front tires poorly. I have inspected the front suspension and steering components, replace the worn bump stops, and an idler that had a small bit of wear, the rest of it is tight and good.
I was blaming the tires, but recently I saw on FB some one saying this typical for a gmt800 with torsion bars. Is this true ?
I have 25kish miles on these tires and have rotated them at least 7 times, to even out the wear and cut down on the low frequency noise. I was about to drop some coin on some aftermarket control arms and steering but if this is a design flaw then I'll just keep rotating tires.
