Uneven tire wear

[DigitalGhost]

My rear tires are rounding off the inside corners of the tread. It can't be an alignment issue because the rear wheels can't be aligned right? Anyone know what it could be?

 

[onefstsnake]

so they are wearing more on the insides of the tire (towards the diff)?

Could be the axle tubes are bent. More common than most would think but usually not enough to show noticable wear differences...

Bent wheels? Highly unlikely...

Proper inflation? Doubt its the cause...

I dunno thats strange.

 

[ryan218]

have the tires balanced?

 

[DigitalGhost]

The tires should have been balanced. The axles are fine.

Must just be my inflation. hmm odd

 

[Disturbed90gt]

the only reason i would see a solid axle rear like that wear tires the way you descride is because the axle tube(s) is bent. check it out really good. i know this from exsperiance cause i had a 79 nova with a bent rearend and it trashed the inside edge of my tires

 

[myslo50]

maybee the tires were on the front at one point in time? rearend might be twisted? check tire pressure?

 

[88mouse]

If it was tire pressure it would wear the inside and outside from under inflation. Sounds like you have a bent rear end.

 

[DigitalGhost]

How do I go about checking the damn rear end to see if it's bent?

alignment would tell you if the thrust line was out. could be under pressure or belts gone bad. do you have adjustable controll arms, maby a controll arm bushing is shot or a torque box is torn
