Default Rear tires wearing on the insides????

98 Civic LX 4 door, the rear tires are wearing on the insides of the tires. We have looked at all the suspension pieces and none are bent and the bushings are good and not wore out. Let me know what part or parts you will need to get to fix this problem. I am tired of replacing tires.

When was the last time your car was aligned?

Is your car lowered? If so, get a camber kit!

Within two months. I replaced the original rear upper control arms that were still good with a set of aftermarket ones that you can adjust. My alignment guy that I trust very much has had this problem with these year civics before and he stated this is what is needed to fix this problem. They were $115.00 for the set.

my 96 ej8 sedan wears out tires from the inside rear also and its complete stock oem height...i think this is a common problem with this generation and it would be a good idea for you to try the washer trick...!!!

biggest problem is when people drive up over curbs. it pulls the alignment arm out a litttle each time
