Inside tire tread wear

All my four tires are showing much more wear on the inside treads. I am about to go check the alignments of the suspension. But I heard not much is adjustable on our cars. Does my case means some suspension components are worn out? Any one with similar problems?

are you lowered?
condition of suspension bushings? ball joints? tie rod ends?

does the car pull any?

there are many adjustments that can be made, but it depends on the problems.

sounds to me like your suspension bushings are worn out, which usually causes a toe-out and negative camber situation on these cars.

Old car = saggy springs = lower than before = pushes tires outward = excessive toe out = increases inner tire wear = 4 wheel alignment for toe = solution!
