right front tire wear

Yes, I know I should rotate my tires more often.

I noticed the wear on my right front tire today. It's much worse than the other three. The outer edge is the worst, but it has more wear than the others all the way across. Web searches bring up information regarding uneven wear across the tire and front versus rear, but nothing about right versus left. I'd blame the one most often in the passenger seat, but the one in the driver's seat weighs more. Any idea why I might be seeing this wear (besides my confession above)? Thanks.

    Replace everything that moves with MOOG. Rotate, air up, and align... or just keep rotating till everything matches...then, rebuild the front end, get a brand-new set of tires and start like new. I'm personally not one to just replace one worn thing, even if you can find it. Just do it all at once, you will know it is all new. Be prepared, parts are not cheap, neither are tires but you pay for what you get.

    It's probably worn front end components. It's pretty typical for one side to wear faster than the other. Until that's fixed, it won't do any good to align.
