2003 F250 4x4 6.0 crew cab short box. Unusual wear front only both sides. Like every other lug. Tires, suspension etc???

Passenger front

Driver side front

 

Shocks. But still you need to inspect ball joints, tie rod ends, spring mounts, etc. Did I mention shocks? Along with the fact that “some” tread patterns can just develop strange wear patterns, especially traction tires that see mostly pavement. Part of needing to have that “look” when cruising down the street.

 

I had tires wear weird like that and it turned out that my ball joints were shot

 

^^^^^^^^
What they said.
Full front end inspection and shocks high on the list..

 

Agree with the above. Check everything, I'll bet you'll find a LOT is wearing out all at once. Not uncommon, you've got a solid front axle.

Normal wear and tear, basically. If you're mechanically inclined you'll need GOOD tools, not cheapo stuff, to bust ball joints loose and replace them. Some shops might let you bring in your knuckles and just charge you a bit of labor, but you're still going to need an alignment when you're done.

Or you can have a shop do it, but make sure they put in good quality stuff, not just whatever is cheap. If you use cheap components, you'll be doing this again in 20k miles or less.

 

I've got the EXACT same issue. I checked my front end out & everything seems tight, so I'm going to rotate the tires, install new shocks, and have it aligned & see if that solves it.
