Default Tire wear

Anyone having issues with left front tire wear? I run a shop and do wheel alignments.I've done my wife's 07 Liberty twice and have had my tech do it twice and it still wears the inside edge of the lt frt fast and bad.We've never had anyone come back with abnormal tire wear.

Tire pressure equal at ? Age of tires and type/ brand?
The stock suspension, springs and shocks are probably bagged and you are in need of a better front end inspection.
WHAT IS THE CURRENT MEASUREMENT FROM CENTRE OF HUB TO FLARE IN FRONT?
Most do not know how to align a KJ so- zero the cam bolts first, then do alignment helps.
After a proper inspection/alignment in a modern computerized alignment bay, the tire rotation should take place every 6k miles. Check the wheel balance once a year.
Look inspect for play or worn steering rack (gear) bushings\ Upper/Lower ball joints/ sway bar end link tight/ wheel bearings, damage or bent components.



General KJ Hints: Replace the rear diff lube every 12 k miles as well! Trac-lok? add modifier.
HOAT rad coolant Only
and ATF+4 folks for power steering and transfer case.
