Message: <blockquote data-quote="ehoe" data-source="post: 47286" data-attributes="member: 141">Bimmerman,Before I renewed all my rear bushings, my inner wear on both tires was pretty bad, much worst than yours. My tires only lasted me 1+ year and only approx 20 - 25k km and that was with constant rotation of the tires. Visually you should be able to see if certain bushings are worn out like the pitman arm bush & trailing arm bush but certain bushes like carrier arm bush & axel mount bush is tough to see visually. You have to remove them to really check them properly. Not sure if there is any other way to check them so I guess check with yr mechanic, he should know best. The springs and shocks plays a big role too. Recently I had uneven wear on my front tires as well and I noticed that my ride height was a lot lower than it normally is so I suspected worn out shocks. Visually they look fine with no signs of leaking oil but when I had them removed they were indeed leaking oil already. The damping rate was weak as a result and  the car got lower and lower over time and eventually my tire even started to rub the fenders when going over big humps. So this also cause uneven wear on the tires. So weak shocks and springs do contribute to uneven wear too so thats why I mention u have to check them too. For my case the right absorber was more worn than the left so there was more uneven wear on the right tire as a result. So in your case seeing only one rear tire has inner wear on one tire, it could be because that side of the spring + shocks are weak or worn out. I suggest you bring it to a qualified mechanic to have them checked out, I am only suggesting possible causes based on the limited info u gave me. Good luck.</blockquote>
