rear rires wearing from the inside

[MixGotAnLS]

anyone have this issue, ran through a set of tires in about a year, put a new set on got an alignment, the rear tires sit at an angle even after alignment, did i just get a bad alignment or is this normal on an LS

This is normal on the LS. Mine do it as well. If you look at some of the members pics on here with shot from the back you will see it. Where you rotating your tires though?

ya i rotated em, just whatever tires are in the back are getting destroyed

them guys at the rim shop was like damn ur whole tire look brand new except for the inside,

this after the alignment

Independent suspensions need 4 wheel alignments. That should fix the problem

i swear noone knows what they're doing on this planet

I'm not sure if all places do, or are even capable of doing, a four wheel alignment. When I last got mine done this is what they checked for a four wheel alignment.

Front - Camber, Caster, Toe, Cross Camber, Cross Caster, and Total Toe
Rear - Camber, Toe, Cross Camber, Total Toe

Assuming this was a four wheel alignment done right, that's what an alignment shop should include when you go get a four wheel alignment. Not necessarily realign the rear, but at least check it to make sure it's in spec before aligning the front. From what I understand, to align the front wheel's properly the rear wheels need to be aligned first. Not entirely sure if this helps but that's my experience. This was done at a reputable performance shop. If I had my guess your dealer or a reputable service center should be able to align it properly and/or figure out why your tires are wearing so quickly on the insides.

i took it to a good rim shop according to everyone i asked, might just take it to lincoln just dont know if they'll do it since i got custom rims on it

Also look for badly worn suspension parts. The rear toe links seem to go sooner than most of the other parts.

 

[jmtiseo]

Doesn't hurt to try.

Most shops that do alignments SHOULD be able to do all 4. If not, alignments are not a primary service they offer. I think even Pep Boys can do it.

 

[joegr]

... I think even Pep Boys can do it.

Yes, but I think that they are required to break a few things in the process.

 

[01continental]

True, just used as an example of how easy it is to find a shop that does all 4.

i used to have the same problem with mine, also there would be some smoke coming off of the tire, especially while turning.

the problem was fairly easy to fix, i just had to start giving the car less throttle!
