Default Re: Front tire excessive wear

Front crossmember establishes caster, which is the tip back at the top of the king pin leaning towards the rear much as a bicycle frame has fork leaning back. This is what causes the front end to want to move in a straight forward direction. Camber which is the spindles leaning in at bottom to place the weight of the car on the larger inner wheel bearing and king pin inclination is the inherent spindle and king pin positions to allow a line drawn thru the king pin to intersect the bottom center of the tire to the road so the tire pivots on a small point on the road rather than scuffing as the spindle spins the tire
