one tire wearing horribly

[nightsauce]

heres a long story short. I hit a raised manhole cover and destroyed everything in the middle of the front end (subframe, oil pan, sway bar, PS lines, ETC). I put everything back together and now it seems like im riding on three wheels. One tire, the front right, is screeching and wearing terribly compared to the other three. I mean my coils are set even, new sway bar and end links, new subframe, same tension rods, but they seemed ok, same FLCA, and same everything else.

The wheel bearing on that side seems like it went bad as well, but I do not believe that one wheel bearing can make that tire wear THAT much. I dont have pics but imagine putting a new tire on and having it be bald by the end of the month.

someone chime in and help me out before i go apes**t and buy new everything in the front suspension. Thanks

did you have it aligned?
you could have bent the whole unibody, if you can't see anything wrong with the wheel, measure the distance from the rear of the tire to the fender and compare it to the drivers side of the car, to see if the wheel got pushed back. then from the back of the car look down the side of the car and compare the rear tire camber with the front, both should be straight up and down. jack up the wheel and have a buddy shake the tire up and down while you look for anything loose like ball joint or wheel bearing, then shake side to side to check your tie rods for looseness. if everything is tight and you can't see any damage to the strut tower then i would say you just need to have it aligned. if your only wearing one tire then it has to be a camber issue on that side, as toe will affect both sides.

Check the tie rod, I had the same issue, where one tire was balding really bad, turned out a tie rod was bent on that side.
