Suspension problems and questions.

I have an 87 TII that the rear tires on it always wear excessive on the inside. Is this because of worn springs and or struts? Anyways I gotta replace my springs and shocks cause I think they're still the original stuff. They make excessive noise and the ride is horrible. I'm really tight on dough so I was wondering if the Monroe sensatrax would work with the racing beat springs, or would the stiffer springs ruin the shocks? Please help thanx.

Might try getting the alignment checked on the rear.You may have too much negative camber on the rear.

How much space between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender well?&nbsp You should get at least 3 fingers in there...
