tire wear
Have a strange tire wear problem on the wifey's 93 ZJ, the inner edges
(almost inner 1/3rd) or the front tires are worn almost bare, This suggests
a problem with the camber angle, in reading about this I have found that
the camber on the ZJ is non-adjustable, any ideas what too look for prior to
taking it into the alignment shop?

Re: tire wear
Excessive toe out will cause that same wear too, and feathering, across the
tread.

Re: tire wear
If the toe is too far off the tires will eat like that....
You can adjust the toe at home with a tape measure.
