    shhhh...

    Pat, you think that 20° is having a neg affect?? It was at 12° before the last install, when we tweeked it a bit. I got 15k miles this time, which is about 3000 more than last time.

    Do you know what toe you have on the front? Mine was increased from the stock setting to approx. 0°10' (each side) back in '07 (two tire installs ago).

    When was the last time all the front control arm bushings were changed?

    As an example. My PS2 with 15,000 miles still look perfect have have 50% tread with no inside edge wear.
