Both of my front tyres are currently wearing out outside edges, Camber out? . It make squeeking noise like braking hard when turning to sharp corner especially when its rain. Steering is horrible when on uneven surface and front absorbers been change few months ago.
Just wonder if anyone got any idea what it is? Many thz.

Wear on the outside of your tyre's indicates theyre toeing in.

Could it not be that they are underinflated?

The tyres are at normal pressure 32, only wearing out on outside edges ofboth front tyres and the steering control on bumpy road is s**t!

To much toe out would wear the inside of the tyre.
As he's tyres have wear on the outside it's toe in that could be the problem.

As mentioned above, could be tracking could be balancing or even a part of
The suspension that needs replacing. I got an idea your tie rod ends need doing (would explain the outside tyre wear) or drop links(do you hear knocking on bumpy roads?)

Drop links being change together with arb bush and absorbers. How to check if tie rod ends need replacing? the rubber bush on it seems alright.
