Tire wear
Tire wear
Ok have a few questions here. The inside of my tires are wearing bad. Fronts only. I had a alignment done with install of brand new tires. 12k miles front inside tires, both left and right are down to the threads. I had -2° of camber put on all 4 corners.
My suspension mods if itll help
FA500s 9k front 11k rear swift spring
whiteline roll center stop kit
Energy suspension complete bushing kit
My first question is. Is there a left and right on fortune auto coilovers? I saw no markings. If so this may be the cause of tire wear.
Second question is. I put energy suspension bushing kit in the control arms. The large one isn't spherical like. Would this cause the tire wear?
Car drives perfectly straight so alignment shouldn't be the issue (unless one or 2 of my questions is culprit)
Any advice or information is much appreciated and thanks in advance.

Im on FA's as well. Mine are more than a few years old & have no brake line attachment so mine are not handed.
What are your toe settings? Toe can certainly cause inside tire wear.
Factory toe specs are: 0 ± 0.08 (inches)

How soft are your tires? How many times did you rotate them? How much tire pressure are running? Urethane is a downgrade over factory sphericals, you could be getting more dynamic toe/camber from deflection under loading.
I can't remember what the toe was set to. I only remember specifying -2° camber.
tires are federal 595rsrr. Only rotated them once just recently. Car sits for winters. I originally went to rotate around 6k miles but thats when I noticed the wear. I didn't wanna wear the back set. I need new tires regardless but wanna figure out the cause before hand

Like Razorlab said, you need to go get your alignment checked and dial out any excessive toe. 0 toe on all 4 is what is most commonly recommended for our cars, and they don't seem to have any stability issues (that I have experienced, or that anyone else has reported) at those setting. If it turns out your toe is already pretty conservative, you could start diving down the suspension rabbit hole.
