      Question Uneven tire wear: Outside edge.

      Hey Guys,
      I’ve got an issue with uneven tread wear on both front tires on my 2006 Aveo; the right side is especially bad.(outside edge wear.)
      It seems to have gotten worse lately, I just got back from the tire shop from getting them rotated and rebalanced; I get them done religiously every 5k miles. Along with all wheel alignment around every 6-8 months.
      Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? at face value, this seems to be textbook positive camber misalignment, but as I said, I get the wheels realigned fairly regularly.

      I did some major front end work on the car about two years ago (37 k miles ago), in hopes to prevent this type of abnormal wear. Unfortunately now I've got to get the right tire replaced. But of course I’d like to correct the underlining issue fist.

      Here’s a list of the work I performed and parts I used:

      · Front Strut & rear Shocks Replacement: Monroe 72296 Front Strut Assembly Right, Monroe 72295 Front Strut Assembly Left, 2 Front Monroe 905906Strut-Mate Strut Mounting Kit; 2 REAR 5794, Monroe Sensa-Trac Passenger Car Shock Absorbers & x2 rear mount kits from Rock auto.
      · Control Arm Replacement Right &Left: Dorman 520-162 Control Arm Right side; Dorman 520-161 Control Arm Left side. from Rock auto.
      · Tie Rod inner and ends: 2 MOOG tierods; Ft Inner ES800034; Fnt R Out;1 ES800033 L. from Rock auto
      · Drivers side/Left Half shaft; Passenger's side/Right Half shaft: Cardone Select66-1420; Cardone Select 66-1422. from Rock auto.

      If anyone has any idea what is causing this or what else I should have serviced, I’d be most obliged to you.

      Thanks!
