Default Problems with wear!

Hello! I'm new to the forum but was looking for some help. Have mine currently lowered on tein HA's, have normal camber wear on my passenger, and both rear, however my driver side (took off wheel to see if anything was out of whack and didn't find anything, also got it aligned a bit ago) seems to be wearing at an unbelievable rate! More Towards the inner wall too! Now I don't I have camber kits, looking to purchase some soon if needed as well as outer tie rods, any suggestions? Hoping to get a quick response before I order all my parts (camber kits, tie rods, tires and alignment) I'm a poor college student so hopefully I don't need to! Haha

What were the alignment numbers after you got it aligned? That should tell you what parts you need to bring it back in spec.

Got it aligned today and think I found the culprit, just a faulty alignment worker from last time, at least I think. Checking my numbers; front left toe (tire that wore the craziest) was at -0.24! The actual now is back I green at 0.01 and the front right was at 0.20! Which explains as to why that wore more or less a little more camber normal.

My cambers were all in the green originally, but as of now, I would assume to get the toes right, are all 4 more or less at a -2 camber

Unfortunately I didn't get a pic of the tire when I got them replaced today, however in the above reply, I mentioned most of my alignment numbers!

I was going to say check the toe but wanted to see pics first. It probably looks like the tire was being dragged down the road
