Can anyone read these alignment specs?
Here is my print out from my Lexus dealer. I was curious if anyone would be able to make any suggestions. I only have wear on the left rear tire on the outer edge of the tire. All the 3 other tires are fine and are wearing perfect. Keep in mind my dealer replaced a strut bearing on the right front. He asured me that wouldn't do anything to the alignment and thats why he gave me this print out to prove everything was in spec. My dealer said it couldn't be causing this wear. Can someone tell me if this sounds some what normal. Thanks in advance for any help.

If the tires have been rotated and only the one tire shows the wear it is possible that you have a tire failure.

19,000 and they were rotated at 4,000 miles and then again at 12,000 and they haven't since. I mean the wear isn't to bad but it is noticeable. So maybe I am being to picky ? I mean it's not noticable but it isn;t the same of the other 3. The outher line just dissappered and are now level with the outer edges. My other 3 tires are almost at the point but the line is still visable. So maybe it's because I didn't rotate them in 8,000 miles but what I don't understand is why it would be the rear tire? Maybe because you make more right turns and the weight of the truck goes on that left rear tire. I think tommorow I am going to switch it with the rear right tire and see if it starts to wear down rite away. Well THanks for the feedback
