Rear tyre wear

Cleaning the car at the weekend I noticed that the rear tyres are wearing more on the inside than the outside.

Any thoughts?

I'm thinking worn bushes - but which ones?

Going to get a new pair of tyres tomorrow - want to 'enjoy' the drive to Donington, but would be very interested in thoughts/comments abouts bush wear.

old springs and increased neg camber?

No my back end is not saggy and neither is the cars

Peter, I see what you mean but I have thought of that.
Ok the springs are old but without at castor/camber gauge I'm not 100% sure about the rear wheel angle - but it does look correct.
I will check more though.

It's just that I'm sure it's bush related, which one is the question.

Maybe you aren't cornering hard enough to wear the outside edges too??

Seriously though, there's quite a lot of toe in on the rear of the Excel suspension ... I may try trimming a little out because with the 17" wheels there insn't so much "give" in the tyres!
