    03 wrx 167k no suspension mods and original
    So I rotate every 5-6k and this happened in the last 2 weeks. I was thinking struts but it only took 2-3 weeks to do this. Anyone have any advice on where to start?

    Your toe is off. Get it realigned.

    Check wheel bearings. I had one go out and was a little lax in getting it changed. Wore out a tire in about a week.

    That shouldn't enough to cause that wear. But I'm no expert.

    That sounds like a camber measurement. Front tires? If that's toe out then there's your issue. Get it closer to 0 for daily driving.

    So, to clarify, the toe was at .52 but corrected to 0 today. If that's the case, I'd say that's your issue (no pun intended) and you shouldn't see continued wear.

    Again, front wheels?

    Ya just the fronts. I just found it odd to not have any broken or bent parts and have a issue. I always been taught that there is a reason a part fails or an issue arises.

    if i'm reading that right... -.51 means just over 1/2" toe in across the front tires..
    that's kinda high on the toe end of things.
    or if it's -.52 on each side, that's a full inch of toe in across the front, and that's a ****LOAD of toe.

    did you get a print out?
    it could also be tie rods wearing out creating more toe under load.

    Correction it was -.27 on the left and .-25 on the right. Well what ever they did it fixed by pull left after I put the new tires on. The car had a little pull left when the old tires were new.
