tyre pressure could be low, the toe could be out and the alignment place may have a broken machine or not no wat there doin. Wheel bearings ok?

only the right side, do you for some reason do alot of left hand turns? i know it seems strange,
i know alot of people in a certain area of sydney that have tire wear problems due to the camber and roundabouts in their area,

has it been crashed or driven offroad hard? bent housing? but more importantly who is aligning it are we talking bob jane, beuerepairs gasp tyre factory or someone who actually knows what their doing?
I change alot of tyres on peoples cars due to being "aligned" by tyre shops instead of suspension specialists which results in better work most of the time.

How can one check if their housing is bent? I get abnormal wear on my left front. while the right front is the best tyre of the lot.
Who is recommended for wheel alignments/balance. I guess not the bigger chains?

depends where you are I use pedders in dandenong as I have a trade account and it doesn't matter how high or low the car is they will align it right, not to lazy to use shims on cars that need em etc......not all pedders stores are the same though!
as for diff straightness unless you can see a major bend i actually don't know how to tell unless its pulled apart and checked, intact on the car I don't know if its possible.
