uneven front tire wear

Just rotated the tires on my 2003 Aero w/161k. I've always gotten relatively good life out of my sets of tires (~40 psi and 5k rotations) and never had any uneven wear. Well that's come to an end, the front tires both exhibited significant wear on the outside edge. About a 3/4" band from the edge inward, on the passenger side it's all the way through the tread (ie it's flat/smooth). The driver's side isn't as bad but the same pattern. Rear tires are fine.
Have never done any front suspension work, did the rear shocks a little over 2 years ago after one of them started leaking. Never had an alignment. The car seems to track straight and I haven't noticed anything particularly odd with the steering or anything, but it could be that whatever's gone bad has happened gradually.
Going to take it in to Viking as soon as I can - any thoughts/predictions? Thanks,
jeff
