Default inner tire wear on del sol

okay i just got a del sol with 209k miles
im having inner tire wear on all 4 tires.
just got it inspected and i examined tie rods and ball joints everything seems good.the balljoints do have ripped boots but not too bad.
now what i was wondering is my car seems to sit lower than stock height but its completely stock.
could my springs be saging and affecting my car? i cant seem to think of anything else since it happens in fromt and back..thanks for the help

Didn't say if you got an alignment.

Yeah. Del Sol's need a 4 wheel alignment.
Also lowering does effect camber and can cause inner tire wear.

Most likely it needs an alignment. Also, check to see if the shocks are good.

sagging springs is similar to lowering a vehicle, that will cause negative camber on double wishbone suspension. riding on negative camber will wear tires at the angle you are describing,

idk how you can check ride height, i believe with a ruler and the jack points as a height reference.

that'll help you diagnose sagging springs, cause you cant get an alignment when your going to replace suspension parts

toe is the most important but camber comes in #2 (caster #3)

if he does have extreme camber and gets his toe adjusted. he'll then replace his suspension to bring his camber back to spec, then his toe will be out of alignment again, and he'll have to get an alignment again

OP if you have any worn or bad suspension parts, you normally get them fixed before you have an alignment

his camber would have to be crrrrazy bad out to ruin things so quickly. my jackpoints are 3" from the ground with my rears being at -4 degrees and ive been like that for a few years and my stuffs fine. he will be able to get his camber back to oem spec (not 0) from his stock stuff (compared to an aftermarket camber kit). most places have an alignment warranty period anyways

ive had friends with hardcore negative camber front and back. long as your toe is set, your good to go

seriously i apologize if i got off topic or sounded rude, totally wasnt meaning to
