Excessive tire wear

[Booch035]

2015 3500 4x4. My dads truck will wear the outer edge of the front tires out in 15k miles. Truck sits stock and has been aligned. I see that moog does make offset ball joints but I do not think I should go that route. What are y'alls thoughts?

15k miles? How many times were the tires rotated? In 15k miles they should have been rotated at least 3 times.

Use Thuren fab specs. Do not use factory toe specs, Total toe should be less than .05 .This will solve all of your outer edge tire wear. I’ve had shops fight me on this and even one that set it back after I told them not to it. This has solved all my outer edge tire wear.

One thing I found out long ago was it isn't always mechanical. Most times it will show wear indicating mechanical first. If not ...

Verify you have the right pressures first, then go mechanical. After all the tires I've bought, each seems to be different in needed pressure verses the recommended ratings on the doors or the dealership. Usually not by much, but has been critical in tire life. When I get new tires, I do what is in the attached movie clip. I don't change until I change brands or type of tires.

If this doesn't work, then look at mechanical.





It isn't the greatest clip, but informative.
