I did a search, but didnt find what I was looking for. My right rear tire is wearing badly on the inside tread, and after some digging around it sounds like my rear control ball joint is going out. Does anyone know if I can just replace the ball joint, or do I have to get a new rear control arm??

 

there isnt a ball joint in the rear suspension.

 

I called a tire shop and they told me that there was a joint, but thats why I'm asking here. If there isnt a joint, then is it just a simple alignment, or something else that I'm missing???

 

if they told you there was a ball joint in the rear end for your car. that shop should close down. lol NOW. or just get blown up. one of the two

 

jack up the rear, and LOOK!

could be your trailing arm bushing. check all the bushings and upper control arm.

good luck

 

is your car lower in the rear than it is in the front? cuz a blown shock or a bad spring will lower the rear and cause a little bit of camber

you just need an alignment.

unless of course something is bent and needs replaced. you wouldnt be able to tell unless you got an alignment anyway.
