- Toe-in: If the rear wheels are not aligned properly, they can cause the tires to wear unevenly. Toe-in is the measurement of how much the front wheels are turned inward compared to the rear wheels. If the toe-in is out of specification, it can cause the tires to wear on the inside or outside edges.
- Camber: Camber is the measurement of how much the wheels tilt inward or outward at the top. If the camber is out of specification, it can cause the tires to wear on one side more than the other.
- Thrust angle: Thrust angle is the measurement of how much the rear wheels are aligned with the front wheels. If the thrust angle is out of specification, it can cause the tires to wear on the inside or outside edges.
- Control arms: The control arms are responsible for connecting the wheels to the suspension. If the control arms are bent or damaged, they can cause the rear wheels to be misaligned, which can lead to uneven tire wear.
- Bushings: The bushings are rubber mounts that connect the control arms to the suspension. If the bushings are worn out or damaged, they can allow the control arms to move around, which can cause the rear wheels to be misaligned.
If you are experiencing uneven tire wear on your 2003 Buick Rendezvous, it is important to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to determine the cause and have it repaired.
