Hi Kamal. Yes, worn suspension pieces could. But also...

How often do you rotate your tires?

When was the last time you had an alignment performed?

What psi do you keep your tires inflated to and how often do you check them?

 

All of those things, plus more, can affect and contribute to tire wear.

 

Have the front suspension work done, and have an alignment performed afterwards.

 

Keep us updated and good luck.

Rotate every time you change the oil.
This is one of the things I hate about my wife's 06 Fusion.
To make it handle really well they push the alignment of the rear tires into basically a race setting that makes it corner really well but also makes the tires wear really fast.
I have had this discussion with a couple of alignment shops.  
They acknowledge that the setting is "wrong" and they could correct it to stop tire wear but they won't because of liability if you had a wreck and decided to claim it was due to their alignment job.
