i put some new shock/struts and springs on a few months ago wich dropped my car about 1.5" everything is good except the driverside front tire has an incredible amount of wear on the inside, and i hear a clank when i make a slow stopping turn... this just so happens to be the first one i did and had forgottent to mark which way that plate bolts onto the shock, so is this my problem and if so whats the easiest way to fix this before i have to spend 145$ on a new tire?

too much camber if it's wearing out too much on the inside. The slow stopping turn is probably your tension rod bushing going out.

Yeah if the tension rod bushing is blown it might also mess with the toe. My 92 was wearing in the insides of the front tires at stock ride height.

You can get some ingalls camber bolts for $8 from summit, if your car didnt come with adjustable ones.

Definately check that bushing, and you might as well check the tie rod ends and ball joints so you can change them all if needed then just get an alignment once.
