I'm getting ready to put OME Shocks & Coils on, along with new tires but I'd like to get an alignment first. I have one issue (at least I think it's an issue) that I'd like input on first.

My Driver Side Front tire has significant uneven wear on the inside. That tire is worn almost to belting on the inside 3.5" or so with a good 7/32's of good tread left on the outside of the tire. That wheel is visibly toed in.

The passenger side tire is dead on, no toe in / toe out that I can see. Tire wear is completely even.

Will a 2 wheel alignment fix a single wheel being out of whack? Is this common? I noticed in the shop manual it specifies that "No Adjustment is provided for castor, camber or swivel pin inclinations.".

All you can do on a D1 and I think the D2 (not sure on D2) is the toe in or out... if you have wear on only one tire. I would think something else is the issue or you had a bad tire.

Easy no pay way to do a front end alignment on a Disco....
