I need help (yet again). I need = some ideas on what might be causing the problem I'm having. As the title = suggests, I'm having seriously abnormal tire wear, especially in the front. I = have a 1984 Vanagon (standard). I replaced the tires about a year ago, = when I bought the vehicle. Shortly thereafter, I noticed accellerated = wear on the insides of the front tires. That was easily solved by having it = aligned front and rear. I then rotated the front tires to the back, and = vice versa. It wasn't too long before I began to see rapid wear on the = fronts again (this time on the OUTside of the tires). I naturally assumed = that they had simply not done the alignment quite right, so I took it back, = and they redid it free of charge. They told me when I picked it up that one = side was off by 1 degree. I remember thinking that didn't seem like = enough to account for that kind of wear, but went on my way.

A short time later, I noticed still = more wear, especially on the front tires. I'm now past the service warranty = period on the alignment. But I'm starting to think that isn't the problem to = begin with. The most obvious thing I can think of is shocks. Does = that sound like my best bet of what to do next to the experts on the = list? Or should I be looking elsewhere in the suspension/wheel location system?
