Just had it checked today. Everything was normal as in, set to factory specs, so a little mystery there. It may just be a tire, even though they are MY12 date code.
What's more disconcerting is he said the rack bushing was worn because he could move the tire up and down a little. I just replaced the darn thing! All I know is it doesn't knock when I go over rail road tracks, and there is no play at the boot like there was before.
I did add zerk fittings on the upper ball joints.
