My right outside tire is wearing out. I measured the top of the tire to the fender and there is an inch difference from the left tire. could that be the problem right torsion bar set too high?

Good evening,

It is possible the left bar is too low. Suspensions do not rise over time, they drop with wear.

I would adjust the left side to match the right and have the alignment checked.

So if the right front side is the right height and the left front torsion drop down that would cause my right front tire to wear out on the outer tire?
