    Tire wear in the rear?

    So, when I lowered my car, I noticed a very noticeable lean on the wheels upfront (toe). But, in the back.....it wasn't bad at all. Same drop in the rear, as in the front. Had the Ebay coilovers, so everytime I adjusted the height, both were the same height. So, I just recently put new struts in the back and put my stock springs back in. (only in the rear). My front struts are doing just fine with the coilovers. No bouncing, or nothing. Rides like it's stock up front. Have it raised up all the way.

    Well, when I put these new struts and stock springs on the back, I got new tires for the rear put on my stock SE Rims. (had steelies on all 4, but now just upfront). Well, pulled the back tires off today, cause my brakes were making a little squeak (guess it was water or something. It's just like a ...tweek tweek....then don't hear it again until a week later). When I looked at the tires, I noticed already...(600 miles) wear on the inside of the tires. These are new tires man, and I'm baffled on what the hell it is. The car's got all the stock stuff put back in the rear, suspension-wise...and the tires are wearing on the inside? It's like.....an Inch-Width of wear. But when I look at the wheels when the car's on the ground, they look perfectly straight? No lean on the wheels at all?

      get an alignment. your rear toe might be off. when your toe is off, your tires will scrub. since its the inner part of your tire, you might have a little bit of neg. camber.

        Yea, I didn't know you could get an alignment in the rear. The rear suspension looks a lot different than the front suspension. Didn't know if there was toe adjustment and stuff that could be done in the rear also. The place I go to, to get my tires put on (very frequently), said they charge 59.99 for an alignment. I figured if I put my 15" stock rims back on the rear, and all my stock suspension on the rear, the wear would go away, but it's still the same. Damn!
