Cool. Live and learn.


I'll be getting an alignment ASAP.


Thank you all for the education and the help.

Are you running stock suspension adjustments? If so, they will move.

Suspension is stock. I have never had an alignment. Are you saying the stock numbers will change, and I need to check the alignment periodically.?

Yes, only get an alignment when you get new tires. The alignment can move over time. My stock suspension did. I was also installing new tires at least once a year.

The most common angle to come out of adjustment is typically toe in general and coincidentally toe is the most critical in effecting tire wear. So basically always get an alignment with new tires and depending on the cost of the tires and miles you drive it might even be beneficial to do it yearly regardless if needing tires or not.

I failed to mention the passenger side is typically taking tighter turns (right) and if you're on the gas moderate to hard it's easier to spin than in lefts which are usually more "sweeping". This accelerates wear on the right side.
