Uneven wear around circumference of a tyre is worn out shocks generally. Good indication that the shock on that corner is probably the worst haha. But yeh heaps of possibilities.

^this usually a sign the tyre isn't spending all of it's time on the road, but given the edge wear, there's more than one factor at play IMHO.

Well didn't go to Peddlers, end up talking to a tyre shop that recommended a nearby suspension shop. Tyre shop said they won't do alignments on Fg's due to the time required to get them right.

Suspension shop checked the alignment and it's still within ford specs. Currently sitting at

Left camber - -1.13

Right camber - -1.05

I've never met anyone who wasn't keen to do a wheel alignment, plenty I'm told don't know how to setup falcons properly. I had a sh*t alignment in my old BA from a tyre shop that kinda backs that up.

 

my cars had thousands spent at pedders and iirc they would have done the last alignment which looks okay (based on tyre wear). car also has camber kits installed though.

What about toe and caster? Toe angle has a far greater affect on inner edge wear than camber.
