  I noticed my Coker tires on front are wearing on the inside.Is there an adjustment for this problem on a stock 40 coupe?

  Wear on the inside edge could be caused by either or both, too much toe-in or negative camber. If caused by too much toe-in the solution is simple, just adjust the tie rods by rotating them to bring the setting to specification.
Too much negative camber could be caused by either worn kingpins and/or bushings or a bent front axle. If the axle is bent, it can be bent back into the proper dimensions by a front end shop that specializes in working on trucks which have solid front axles.

  Too much toe out; Too much Toe in , would cause the outer side to wear. Camber can do that too. Under inflation causes the outer sides to wear; to0 much inflation causes the center to wear. Get your front end Professionally aligned. Caster, camber, and toe in.
