Front end alignment
 
A year and a half ago I had my car brought in to get an alignment done. The inside of both front tires were worn. They told me it can not be done without replacing the wheel bearing which was bad. So, I had them get the new parts and an alignment.
Now, 15,000 miles later I am experiencing wear on the inside front two tires again. Also, when backing with the wheel completely cranked, the wheels jump so to speak. Not sure if this is normal or related.
I guess my question is if there is any way to adjust the angle of the tire with the control arms or if I just need to get an alignment again. It sure seems like there is more going on then just an alignment. I just don't want to keep buying new tires.
any questions just ask

If there are worn parts it can cause the wear your indicating. I am no expert but it sounds like a negative camber issue. Take it to somebody else and see what they say.

If the tires are toed out they will wear the inside off the tire have the alignment checked, they might have done it right the first time.

I have the same "jumping" issue you are describing. I have also wondered what is causing that. Mine only started doing it after it was lowered w/ a Pro-Kit. My alignment is good though.

I've had my total toe set at: .02 degrees (.01 degree per side) with no abnormal tire wear before, and this is with -1.6 degree camber! But with current suspension set-up I have -.8 degree camber with my toe set to the same specs, also with normal tires wear.:yes:
