[QUOTE="ehoe, post: 47256, member: 141"] Well having pronounced -ve camber on the rear tires on an E34 is a common problem. Its a known fact that almost all UDM have negative camber for better handling as part of their design. For the E34 the rear suspension is fixed type configuration and thus cannot be adjusted for allignment purposes. So having good condition suspension components such as bushings, springs, absorbers, etc are vital in keeping the camber settings correct in stock configuration. Seeing your car is having stock suspension, it sure looks like one of the suspension components may be worn out so causing the pronounced -ve camber which causes inner tire wear. Have yr mechanic check all the bushing (trailing arm bush, pitman arm bush. carrier arm bush) and also your spring and shocks to make sure nothing is excessively worn down. I also have been having this inner wear problem just like you for quite sometime and I have just renewed all my bushing and the -ve camber is now not so pronounced. I'm running on sport suspension so my car is running at a much lower height so I will not be able to totally have the original camber settings of the E34 unless I put in corrective bushings. Oh and remember to rotate your tires from left to right and right to left to even out the wear every 10k km. I see you are running on directional tires so you will need to dismount the tires to rotate them. Good luck and hope you find the problem before your tires go totally bald on on side. :( [/QUOTE]
