right front tire balding/wearing MUCH faster then my left front?
any ideas why this could be happening? i just eyed my toe/camber angles and they look pretty equal on both sides ... just curious as to some of the other problems that could be causing this

Hmmmm... wouldn't a collapsed right rear spring have this effect??? How's the handling? Some RAs (including mine
) received bad coil springs. The tolerances were not respected by the manufacturer and they eventually collapse a bit... so the car runs lower on one of the corners. If it happenned at the rear, it would logically put more pressure on the corresponding front wheel and take out some weight on the front wheel at the opposing side.
This is pure specualtion on my part... so you guys feel free to point out a possible flaw in my theory.

Since the motor sits in the passenger side , there's more weight on that tire. Also you could be spinning your R/F tire during right turns at an intersection.
Have you been doing scheduled tire rotations ? If you haven't in the last 10K miles, It's well overdue. You should rotate your tires regularly if you haven't, to maintain even tire wear.

Anyone who has any insight will be appreciated

I replaced my stock tires at 14000 miles because they were just above the treadwear indicators and I was driving too fast....uh, I mean it was raining too hard... and I was having problems with water on the road.
