Default wheel wear...what's the "cause"

passenger front is decent, not uneven

driverside front tire

outside 2" of the tread is bare.

rest of the tread is 1/8" deep.

what is the cause? caster, camber, toe?

just so i have some info for when the jokers at the alignment shop try to tell me that my blinker fluid is causing uneven tire wear

Sounds like to much positive camber on the drivers side (negative camber would wear the inner area).

gotcha

commonly cause by? likely just out of adjustment or a worn out part (obviously could be both).
