Message	So I was out doing some cosmetic stuff to the Z today when I pulled off the right front wheel......... to my dismay UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. So im scratching my head wondering why and how? Alignment is perfect, wheels were on correctly, tire pressure at 34psi............. Heres a few shots of it. Its on the inside of the right front, also a little on the left front tire as well when i checked that one out too. but the Pics are of the right front. Could it be the shocks or springs? If not, what else? :-\ Brake dust that was caked onto the wheels was near impossible to get off after 15 minutes of scrubbing. Can anyone reccomend another product or technique to rid myself of this! Thanks alot folks! In reference to being flamed on TT.net: "You have to be thick skinned OR be a girl. I was about to say you have to be thick skinned or have boobs, but I would guess that there are some guys on here who have man-boobs, so I'll stick with the first assertion." --CaptK(ATL) 3/18/03
