Why is my tire bent inward?
If the front tires are leaning in at the top, this will cause the tires to wear on the inside. This is caused by worn ball joints and control arm bushings. It could be upper or lower control arms bushings or ball joints. Then, you can wiggle the tire and watch for movement in the front end components.
What causes TYRE scalloping?
Cupped or scalloped dips appearing around the surface of the tire tread wear could indicate loose, worn or bent suspension parts. Shocks and struts are the most likely culprit because they provide damping force to control tire movement. When the tires move excessively, the scalloped pattern can appear.
What alignment angle causes Tirewear?
Camber angle directly affects tire wear, since the camber angle may contribute to excessive inner or outer tread wear if not adjusted properly. Caster angle involves only the front, or steering end, of the chassis.
How many miles will a Toyota RAV4 last?

What causes tire cupping on rear tires?
Rear Tires Cupping When it comes to the cupping of rear tires on a vehicle, the process and causes are generally the same. Shock absorbers, suspension parts, the imbalance of the tires, the misalignment of the vehicle, the quality of the tires, and bent rims are to blame.
Can scalloped tires be fixed?
If it feels like your tread goes up and down and isn’t smooth, more than likely you have tire cupping. The only way to get rid of tire cupping is to replace the tire. Please note: These bumps will be constant all the way around your tire. They can be located on the outside edges or all the way across your tire.
What affects thrust angle?
What causes changes in thrust angle? In the case of a vehicle with a solid rear axle, a thrust angle is most likely to have been caused by an impact or collision. The rear axle and associated componentry were jarred by an impact that created the angle.
What will unequal caster angles cause?
Too little caster can make steering unstable and cause wheel shimmy. Extremely negative caster and the related shimmy can contribute to cupped wear of the front tires. If caster is unequal from side to side, the vehicle will pull toward the side with less positive (or more negative) caster.
