Is the rear wheel running much camber?

Has that particular tyre been on the front of the car?

No mate it was a new tyre and it went bold after 3months or so.. only about an inch on the inside the rest is fine. Doesn't seem to be any camber.. there isn't any adjustment I don't think is there???

 

[Fisher]

So you are saying the wheel is vertical and not tipping in/out at all?

The camber can be altered by placing shims behind the stub axle.

The car handle ok?
Have you checked to see if you have a dragging handbrake on that side?

Is this problem on both rears or just one?

no not that i can see hmm youve got me wondering now.. il have to double check. itb was ok before wasnt wearing tyres then all of a sudden its started happening

 

[Fisher]

up to -0.75 degree is kinda ok. To get the level and speed of wear you describe I would expect it to be quite noticeable if it was a camber problem!

Jack the car up and see if there is play in the bearings and also if the wheels spin freely with the handbrake off.

no its definetly not noticeable or id have noticed it haha. ye good thinking il give it a go.. could it be the axle bushes???

Rear beam bushes, wen they wear out the axle moves n wears tyres down, i had same problem, been ok since ive changed them.

If you havent already, check that tire pressure.. excessive camber and under inflated tires will cause that kinda tire wear
