Is uneven tire wear on Suzuki Bolan related to its steering o r alignment issues?

Ive noticed feathering on the front tires of my Bolan. The steering also feels slightly off-center. Could misalignment o r worn steering components be the cause? How often should alignment be checked considering Pakistani road conditions?

Yes. Uneven wear on the front tires—especially patterns like feathering, cupping, o r camber wear—are often due to poor alignment o r steering system issues. In the Bolan, the steering system is relatively simple but can still develop play in the tie rods o r steering rack, especially if the vehicle has high mileage o r sees frequent use on rough roads. If your steering wheel feels off-center o r you notice vibration, it’s time to get a steering inspection and alignment. Also, check for uneven weight distribution in your cargo, which can also affect alignment and wear.
