Severe Alignment Issue

Hi All,

complete novice, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Basically, put a set of general grabber HTS tires on my 2001 Cherokee. 6 months later....completely bald on the insides of both front tires (back is unworn). of course, I have an alignment problem, but is there anything else I should look for that would cause alignment to go out? Suspension and steering parts? Everything is probably starting to wear out as car has 120K an I haven't replace much.

thanks

You need to get this vehicle up on a lift and perform a COMPREHENSIVE inspection of all front end and steering parts, shocks, etc.

This inspection needs to be done by somebody familiar with how-to and what to look for.

It is very possible that you need some new hardware and/or an alignment.

But an inspection by a good tech. is absolutely job #1.
