Default HELP!!

I have a 96 A4 Quattro 2.8 5 speed. For some reason, the inner side of the driver's tire has been wearing down rather quickly. The car has been recently aligned. My mechanic has been over it, and he can't figure out what the problem is. The car has recent tie-rod ends, recent ball joint replacement, brand new springs. The only thing I can think it might be related to is the struts, but when we test the struts, my mechanic says they are fine.

Any ideas??

Default maybe you just missed the wear before. Tie rods, alignment, and low suspension

are the only possibilities here

Is there some sort of adjustment I can make? It's on Koni 5-ways and Vogtland springs.
