Default Rear tire problem
Both my rear tires are wearing bad on the inside, what would cause this to happen?

I replaced the shocks, before I got the tires and I replaced the right tierod about 8 months ago. The last set I had wore perfectly.

TIA

Camber needs to be aligned. Do it soon or tires will disappear fast.

If you changed a tie rod and didn't align it, the rear toe is out.

I had the alignment done when I replaced the ujoints, come to think about it, that is when I started hearing the tire noise from the rear. I will have it rechecked, thanks everyone.

Good point: too much toe-out can also wear the inside of the tires.
