A couple weeks ago I hit a deer going about 65 miles an hour and pulled off the majority of my my bumper. Shortly after I started noticing the outside edge of the driver's steer tire wearing pretty quick. I went ahead and got it into the shop and put 2 brand new tires on it and got an alignment done at Bower.. However the tire is still wearing on the outside edge of the driver steer tire, and I'm not sure where to go from here. Anyone have any ideas?
Hit a deer, new steers, alignment and still balding. Help!

you might have a bent part (or 2)........ -
Honestly, I'd say that once it starts, it doesn't stop.
And, I'd say you probably had a problem before the strike.
A truck is a funny and fickle thing.
There can be the smallest thing jacked up in your steers, your drives, your shocks, or whatever.
Good luck -
Alignment shop should be able to tell if something is bent to be that far out of wack. Is there anything rubbing on the tire from under the fender or bent fender itself? Or plastic bumper blowing back in the wind making contact.

Did they use a machine or do it the old school way? I've had many machine alignments on my truck it always pulled and had strange tire wear. I just dealt with it for years.
Then, I got new steers put on at a shop that didn't use a machine and the difference was staggering. A major improvement! No more pulling and tires finally wearing perfectly.lester Thanks this. -
