Default Front right tire wear on outside edge

My front right tire is wearing only on the outside edge quicker than the inside. It’s probably about 1.25x the wear of the inside edge. I got it aligned a few months ago after replacing the steering gear. That being said, the shop messed up slightly the first time and the steering wheel was ever so slightly off. They did it again for free and they have a brand new really nice alignment rack.

I jacked it up and using all my body weight checking side to side and up and down there is no movement at all.

is it probably just a crappy alignment? I don’t know how you can screw it up on these machines they basically do it for you.

The alignment could be now identifying something wrong in the suspension/steering bent upper control arm or worn bushings or ball joint, maybe the suspension took a hard hit at some point

yeah took it in they said the alignment was bad. After taking it two a guy who had to do it twice lol.

and these fools who had it this time can’t balance a tire to save their lives. Waited for 3hrs just for my tires to shake my teeth out on the highway. No one does quality work anymore.
I mean seriously. The alignment machine and balancers LITERALLY TELL YOU HOW TO DO IT. I don’t understand how anyone can f*ck something like this up so bad 3 times with two different people.

Side note they didn’t give me a printout 😐
