My Honda Fit 2008 tires are eating on the outside!
Hello Fam! I have a 1st Gen Honda Fit an 08 and my front tires are eating on the outside of the tire! I need someone who had this issue to tell me where is the problem. it's alinement? I had a sway bar link that goes from the wheel to the shock broken off but I don't think that the problem is coming from there.. Need help!

Two obvious explanations for excessive wear on the outer edge of your front tires:
1) Lots of aggressive cornering (e.g., driving on track)
2) Poor alignment.
Alignment issues can come from bent/damaged/worn suspension components, which may develop over time or from a severe impact (e.g., pothole) or an accident (e.g., hitting a curb).
well you are avoiding the obvious but you are being cheap, sorry to say. irregular tire wear can definetly happen from worn or broken in your case suspension. also did you know your front shocks are blown? you didnt notice the obviously dried up oil on shockbody? yes blown shocks will also case irregular tire wear. time to open your wallet and spend some money (if you care about your car). based on the limited info you gave, most likely you will need front and rear shocks/strut and replace front and rear endlinks. then get alignment. i cant comment if you need new tires since you didnt provide much info on that.
