Scrubbed tyres

Hi All
just discovered that the rear tyres on my 75 2.5 have scrubbed out on the inside, any ideas, suspension bushes, camber????

When was the last time you did a 4 wheel alignment.

Also if the rear springs are broken (And most people cannot tell if they are) then this may cause the wheels to scrub tyres.

If the springs and bushes are sound, it's got to be the toe setting. Contrary to some suggestions, the rear camber isn't adjustable, but the toe is. If you are a DIY mechanic, buy a Gunson Trakrite and adjust the setting yourself. It's easy and you can get it exactly right for your car's set up. It's more reliable than laser tracking IMO and lots of car constructors swear by it.
