Default Legacy tyre wear - confused?????

Hi

My brother has a 05 legacy 3.0lt. His near side front is very worn on the outside edge (almost smooth). The off side front is pretty much the same as the rears.

Why is that one wearing more? How can he solve the problem.

Thanks.

Camber setting or wear in suspension components, 4 wheel alignment should pick up the problem.

Could be the tracking is incorrect and toeing in too much, but as Eprom mentioned a full geometry check should hopefully sort the problem.
