I take it to a shop and pay them to check it I don't do it alone.

go somewhere else for an alignment, show them your paperwork from the 1st place show them your tread ware....no way that was done correctly

I had/have stagger set up as well. There is a natural camber in rear anyway but my tire ware was always pretty even. I'm curious about whats going on there.

No spacers nothing just rims. And I can't figure out why it's wearing on the inside and not the outside.

Ok I'll try a different alignment shop I'll probably take it to the scion dealership and explain what is happening and see if they notice something different.
I will still be posting rim pictures and tread. Just to get more info.

I don't think the drifting is the problem.

Does your car look like this?


Admittedly exaggerated, but out-of-whack rear camber will do exactly what you're describing.

because it's not aligned properly. there is no way. sorry babe. now that you have springs you need to get that checked out again. I recommend getting some word of mouth references from people for a better place.

When I get my cars worked on I go to places that allow me to watch what they do and explain to me what they do and why. They should have given you a read out of your original alignment and what changes were made.

also don't trust the dealer.

You say the alignment is fine, what are the specs? Are you getting a new alignment post spring install?

The shop I took it to get lowering springs said they will do alignment and they don't know why I'm having that problem. What are post alignment springs?

No it does not look like that my rear tires are straight with my fenders and looks fully straight all around the car no camber and nothing like the picture.

he was asking if you were getting a new alignment after the spring install.

any time you make major adjustments to suspension you want to get an alignment.

Inside is camber wear. No doubt about it.

They also let me watch and explained what they were doing. I know a couple other shops around my place and see what they tell me. After my springs are and I get my alignment paper I will be able to tell you what different about the car. And what they did to align my rear tires.

Thank you to everyone that is trying to help me figure out what is wrong with my car.

Get camber bolts LOL. I believe I've read somewhere on here that the lower the car gets, the more camber you'll get... it's just the nature of the car.
