If it has been correctly maintained the it is most likely normal wear and tear. On the other hand , if your front end steering is out and over large tires that have not been aligned. if the torsion bar that attaches to lower control arm is detached all a reasons you are going threw front wheel bearing like butter. I had a Chevy GMC I wanted to get them big old new tires on and it began, time after time. Find a alignment service store that specializes in four wheel drives and four wheel alignments. So do not stress take a deep breath and get to a phone book. i promise in the event you purchase 800.00 worth of tires you can trash the front tires and then the wheel bearings . get the 65 or 70 dollar front end alignment. have it checked every 6 months or so to optimize the life of them 800.00 tires.
