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.
Wow...

It's similar to me having all my tools out except you don't have any melted plastic cases [emoji1787]
