You just need to take it to an alignment shop and let them check it out. Could be it just needs an alignment, or parts may be worn out. Front tire wear has nothing to do with rear end tho.

Nope! Outer front tire wear would be from either taking a lot of fast racecar turns causing the car to roll on the outer corner, or your front end alignment (camber) is out of whack. If you drive somewhat "normal", then your front suspension probably needs some whack.

you wheel are probably toed in to much (ie the front of the tires point to each other, even 1 degree makes the ouside wear) if need to be alligned correct though , for caster, camber and toe so the tyre wear correct, if you hit some kurbs thats why its out!
