I was wearing the outer edge of my rear tires on the`92 GMC I bought new.I didn`t notice until my second and larger set of tires,couldn`t wait to burn up the first set.I had a four wheel thrust alignment check done and it showed each side of the rear was toed in approx. 3/8".The tubes were assembled into the center misaligned at the factory.I was also getting wet brakes from the seals leaking from this problem.When the tires got worn you could really feel it didn`t want to go straight.With new tires it was alot better.But,it did still always wonder a bit.I wonder what a 4 wheel thrust alignment would yield?
