Opinion on rear suspension components to replace

2011 with 160k. I am replacing the rear shocks soon. I also have sway links and bushings that I never got around to replacing last summer so I am going to do those as well. But interested to hear if ya'll would recommend replacing anything else while Im at it. I am not sure if it's just me but I feel like I have some negative camber going on as well. Do our cars have this even when aligned properly? My last set of tires were definitely wearing on the inside but they also chopped and were loud as **** but I was chalking that up to some bad shocks. Now wondering if there is more to it than just that. Let me know what you think. I'll post a pic if you think its helpful.

Also, any one have any tips for the sway link install, it appears they can be a bit of a ***** so any tips/tricks would be cool, thanks.

Are you lowered at all? If so, you'll need to replace the OE endlinks with adjustable one and have it aligned. I'm lowered on eibachs and running a stagger wheel set up so i can't rotate my wheels and i had loud and choppy noise like a truck with mud terrain tires because of the negative camber from lowering. Installed new end links and now all for corners are to factory camber specs

Not lowered actually. So maybe when I get it aligned they will be able to adjust the camber or atleast tell me what is causing it I suppose. I was thinking maybe the springs but my ride height still seams normal, no sagging.

If it were me at 160K, I'd inspect and evaluate the rear hubs (bearings). As far as improvements, I'd consider an upgrade to a Stillen rear sway bar for a noticeable improvement in handling...pretty good bang for the buck.
