I'd say trailing arm bushing and /or you lost all the shims. Can you post a pic?

Did you check your strut rod camber bolts to see if they've come loose?

My guess too would be the camber strut rod, I had a completely stuffed trail arm bush but it had little effect on my tire ware just really loose in the back end

Sounds like he's talking about an alignment issue not a camber one

You could be right gjohnson all the shims are gone or the wheel bearings are completely shot but this would make the wheel wobble a lot!!
