Started an early spring run through of the car today. I have about 2000 miles (in town driving) on the tires. Tread wear on the front tires is very uneven. Down to a 1/16" on the inside and virtually no wear on the outside. Its pretty even "wedge" wear on both tires. What adjustments can I make to even tread wear out? The car rides straight and tight down the road.

Sounds like a camber adjustment is needed.

How does one adjust the camber? I adjusted the ride height up a bit and will wait for it to settle before making further adjustments.

I'm not sure on a Unique. Typically this is done my shimming the upper control arm out a bit. That will push the top of the wheel out and will get your contact patch flatter to the road.

Someone else will need to chime in here with specifics.

I took mine to a shop and had a professional take care of it.
