I have an 87 std cab still Ifs. My driver side tire is wearing faster on the outer edge. I have checked the ball joints (tight), the bearings are good (replaced a year ago), shocks are new if that matters. The only thing that I can think about bein wrong is an offset Tbar but I have climbed under there to check it and it looks good. Any one have an issue like this or have a solution? THX in advance

check your caster/camber.

if your shocks were bad you would get everyother lug work dowu or "chopped whear" when just the out side or inside of a tread wears your alignment is off so when one tire is pointed straight the other is turned slightly causing it to go down the road sideways kinda hence the un normal tire wear. Take er to a shop and get it aligned. Should see an improvement in gas milage as well.
