Rear end alignment?

While washing the FD yesterday I noticed the inside of the rear tires are worn. What would caused it to wear like that? Tires were brand new less than 5K miles.

Do FDs have rear end alignment?

Thanks

yes they do.

the reason for wear like that is probably too much toe in or potentially negative camber. I'd guess toe in since you blew through the tires in only 5k miles.

Search on posts from howard coleman in the suspension forum for a good settings.

My car felt like a different car after I got a real alignment.
