Starts off as common for commodores with full lock to worn components (the components are a maybe) to VR's being known for it to replacing lower control arms to corrugated roads to too many right turns.

What would you think other than you clutching at straws?

Oh and I wasn't being grumpy.....Pointing out the blantant obvious with you

Clutching at straws because you have no idea what the problem might be....Can't you find any solutions through your usual google searches?
I already suggested some of what you posted so that means you don't know either, oh unless you looked at the car then neither do you, just throwing out ideas like yourself and others so stop following me its spooky PS what happens at 9am and 3pm is that when u have Smoko.. ;)

Been thinking it might be pointless spending coin for someone to tell me i have a body issue. Because the cost of sorting such a problem I could buy a whole new car cheaper. I think I need to go back to My Car and have a chat and get some advice on what I can do that won't cost a mint.
Don't get what your saying..After reading all the posts it seems to me your going round in circles getting nowhere, its like your saying, your only scratching the itch not treating the cause. Im not saying go to a big expensive engineering chassis place or spending heaps of money, all I am saying is, you mention car has had a HIT, so that can cause damage/twisting and alter measurements and how a car drives and reacts between mechanical parts like steering/suspension/chassis in handling and relationship between driving on a straight road and turning corners.
So take car to a suspension specialist and sort the **** out, wheel alignments are only to steer straight and stop tyres wearing to quickly not to cater for suspension wear and failure.

Just been back to My Car and he said everything is ok and its normal wear. While the wear is not bad it is still wearing more than the other side front. He reckons there aren't worn components coming into play. I need to find a suspension place to know for sure.

Go back testing your oil pressure via your spark plugs..

Firstly you tell me to stick to suspension stuff, which I thought this was, now this....Make up your mind

Oh and I did a compression test on an engine yesterday.....Came back as 150's on all 6 cyls and the oil is clean as and unburnt

I'd be going to a suspension place.....Having 1 tyre wear reguarly isn't normal
