    I'd imagine a few less roundabouts and crossroads should sort it out no problem..!

    It'll do no harm, and if the place doing it is any good they should tell you if the bearings or anything else is gone which could also be causing the problem.

    Sounds like your rear suspension is a bit worn. Could be control arm bushings.

    Is the suspension as standard or modified?

    Agree that this is the most likely cause.

    If it's lowered, I'm assuming it is, it will have cambered the wheels negatively.
    To account for this you need adjustable arms in the back to adjust this out of it.

    The inside wear comes from the car running on the inside edge of the tyre.

    That is exactly where my question about the suspension is coming from. My guess is that it is lowered and thus substantial negative camber.

    all is good now lads the rubbing was a wheel spacer that wasnt in place properly. the car is lowered on springs so it was the negative camber that caused the tires to go
