If the strut is faulty it can cause uneven tyre wear or cause the steering to be either light/heavy and possible rumbling through the driveline.
excessive tyre wear
alignment.
when there is excessive movement in them, rubber gaitors are split or rotten and rust in the ball socket, steering wander, uneven tyre wear, steering knocking, especially pronounced under braking
Does it pull to one side all the time, or only under certain circumstances, e.g. when you brake? If it's all the time then it could be uneven tyre wear, uneven tyre pressures, dragging brakes, worn suspension components, bad tracking, etc.
uneven wear on tyre tread, bald spots on one side Steering vibration showing tyres are unbalanced.
Tyre Wear indicators are present on the tyre sidewall. They help in knowing the tread depth of the tyre. They indicate the degree of tyre wear. If the tread depth is less than 1.6mm, then the tyres become unsafe to drive.
tire air pressure, worn/damaged steering linkage, alignment,
The most common cause of uneven tire wear is a wheel alignment problem. The fix could be as simple as getting the car realigned or it may involve replacing steering/suspension components prior to performing an alignment. Tire pressure is also a common cause of tire wear. If the air pressure is too high inside the tire then the tire tread will wear more in the center. If the air pressure is too low the tread will wear more on the outside edges. Aggressive breaking/acceleration can also be a cause of tire wear problems.
it can if it has uneven wear
Could be any of the following: Wrong tyre pressure. Wrong combination of tyres. Excessive tyre wear. Swing arm bush failure. Front or rear shocks need oil. Headstock bearings loose.
No, the CV axle only allows the power from the engine to reach the wheels. It does not affect the alignment, which is what will cause uneven wear.
