Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

That's truer than you think.  Ours wears the front a little harder because of the steering but I've just fitted castor correction for the 2" lift so time will now tell.  Do you drive it hard, if so I'd still say the front, bigger brakes and steering.

I'd say the fronts, but on a rwd vehicle the rears wear faster, but the fronts take wear from the steering.
On a fwd its obviously the fronts

A 4wd had even wear on all 4 wheels, but the added wear is because of the steering on the front as well, although a lot of heavy towing, or load in the back will cause more on the back too. :?
