Hi all.
I need advice on diagnosing an alignment problem. I am clearly seeing excessive tire wear on the inner edge of my front tires' treads -- 205/55WR16 tires on 6.5x16 wheels (25mm offset Hydra) wheels.

On all the rest of the front tires, wear seems very good -- and it's smooth throughout (no cupping or other markings or featherings). It's just that the inboard edge is almost worn out and I've got gobs of tread in the center and outboard edge.

And the wear is astonishingly identical (same depths) on the opposite tire: inside edge is worn, and the rest of the tire is great.

The rear tires, btw, are both worn very little, and very evenly. The car also has IPD's Poly bushings throughout the front end: front and rear control arm bushings, and on both ends of the swaybar end links, and their 25/22 sway bars (with their Poly mounting bushings).

Thanks all.
