    So I have been getting a little uneven tire wear on the fronts I have brand new upper and lower control arms and recently had a front end alignment back in December. And rotate tires every 5k miles. Wondering if I need new inner and outer tie rod ends as I have not replaced those yet.

    Inside wear is usually a toe-out condition.
    Tie rod ball joints could be worn and/or your static toe alignment was set at zero, and goes negative when driven. Higher offset wheels will toe out more...
    Have the alignment sheet?
    How many miles on the tires?

    So the new lowers I got came with new ball joints and I am running spc upper control arms haven't even had them close to a year yet. Wouldn't imagine those being worn out. Tie rods I would understand being those are original to the truck and I haven't replaced them. I went looking for the alignment sheet and couldn't find it I know the tech mentioned one of my cam tabs were bent on the passenger side but said the alignment was good can't always trust dealerships. Wondering if getting tires rotated at dealership then alignment done at an offroad shop if they would be able to do the alignment better and adjust the upper control arms.
