Default Alignment / tire wear issue

Hello all, newbie here. First post.

I have an 04 S4 with about 53k on it and owned since new. It has always had a front tire wear issue on the inside of the front passenger wheel. Dealer has said alignment OK but has gotten so bad, steel belts are showing on inside edge and outside edge almost new! Now doing it on both front tires. The wear is a gradual taper from outside to inside with the belts showing on the very corner...almost sidewall! All is bone stock and never any accidents. Not apparently rubbing on anything either. Any thoughts and help would be appreciated.

Default RE: Alignment / tire wear issue

have you had any damage to the front end?? have you altered the suspention? fitted wheels with the wrong offset,

ball joints/bearings and suspention cause this sort of thing.

edit: worth a read
