Tire wear question
I have recently noticed inner edge wear only on rt. rear tire on my 339flqs. It has endurances on it and they have approximately 10k on them. I can only assume it may have a bent spindle or axle ?
Anyone have differing opinions and/or recommendations for a qualified shop?

Axel alignment, Broken or missing bushings, bolts, bent or broken leaf springs, bent Axel tube. tires worn or out of life 5+ years, broken cords air pressure underinflated. wheel bearings. trailer not level towing (Nose High), Just a few things to check out before you spend money in a repair shop. as it might be something simple.

X2, how much tire scrub are you experiencing when you back your TT back into the driveway? When I changed homes, my turn backing into the driveway is tighter, and I have lots of tire scrub. I leave long streaks/marks in the street. I installed new tires, and now rotate them.

Iam aware of rhe usual "suspects". It is only one tire, that is always properly inflated, no suspension wear, 2 yr. age on all tires. The inner edge wear is not feathered it appears to be camber related wear. Being it is only on one side of axle I am assuming spindle or axle bent. If axle was misaligned due to center pin issue with leaf I assume there would be feathering and/or issues with opposing tire on same axle. Bearings are tight . I dont assume to have all the answers but have inspected for the obvious and not so obvious.

Thanks Mazboy, it would seem that is the first step and hopefully the last!

Did you figure out the cause of your tire wear? I have the same issue with wear on the inside of the right rear tire with only 2200 miles on them.

I had inner wear on one tire found the bearings on that axle were loose from the factory. Seemed to be a burr on the threads when I went to tighten the nut down it was tight at first then popped loose. Got probably a turn and a half or more until it made contact.

Thanks. I will inspect and repack the bearings. I hope this is the problem. I noticed it Aug 3 when returning home from a weekend trip, called the dealer Aug 4 and learned my warranty ended July 27.
