[2003evoysle]

New to the forum. I have a 2003 Envoy Sle. 6 months or so ago, the front end was sloppy so I decided to do the struts. While I had the struts off, I went ahead and put the bilstein shocks in with that 2.5" or 3" spacer. I think i ordered the 3", but it looked more like a 2.5". Either way, when I had the front end jacked up with the strut and spacer installed, I noticed the control arm was in a bind with the spring when it was hanging down. Not a big deal, but I am noticing that the outer tread is wearing pretty uneven. What would that be called, a reverse camber issue? Any way to fix it?

I have to get some new tires soon and would like to fix this problem before I spend the money on new tires. Any help would be appreciated.

Caster or camber typically don't promote bad tire wear - yours sounds like bad toe adjustment.

You probably dragged it out of alignment when you did the spacer installation.

If your spacers are really 3 inches tall themselves, they will raise the front end to pretty much the total ability of your arms to travel.

Outer tread wear is likely from toe out, all other things somewhat normal.
