I put my new tires on the front. (since all new front suspension).

Went to put a better spare on the back until I do my test suspension (not about to put $600 of tires on suspension that will eat through tires in 1000 miles).

Discovered that my "redneck wear bars " were showing on my temporary tire so I pushed around my calendar to do my left rear today.







Can't share videos directly but I took a video showing the exact two joints killing my tires.

It was the exact joint I have described in the past (ball joint wheel side of rear control arm).

Also the "Rose bushing" aka rear ball joint was completely shot.

I could move each of those at least 2mm by hand. That works out to about 1.5-2° TOE change when braking.

The camber angle did close up a bit but it's non issue compared to toe angle for tire wear.

I have to change the right rear I'll start that tomorrow.

It's so nice having circular tires on the front, can't wait to get some on the rear as well.
