Re: Front tire excessive wear
Unless the shop has to bend the axle to bring in caster angle or camber angle most shops can at least check what your angles are. They generally attach a magnetic gauge to front spindle while the car is on a rack resting on what are referred to as Ouji boards. The tire is turned 20 degrees in one direction and then 20 degrees in opposite directions and the magnetic gauge will give them caster angle, camber angle, and king pin inclination. A different gauge is used for checking toe in.
