Default Left Rear Tire Wear

My left rear tire is wearing on the inside. All the other tires are wearing true.

Is there any way to correct this?

Seems like you may have to much negative camber on the left rear. How many miles on the tires?

About 10,000 miles on the tire. I was told there was no camber adjustment on the rear tires.

Any truth to this?

There is adjustment for toe and both camber, however its not much as i recall, i 'think' the most you can get is a little over 1'75''. Dont quote me on that though.

That wear could be caused by either too much toe in, too much negative camber, or both. Buy a new tire, bring it to the shop, have them mount it and do an alignment.
