Default horrid camber wear

so i just my 1991 da and ive had it for a couple weeks and when i purchased the car it had brand new 195,55's. The tires are not completely ruined and have wires sticking out everywhere. i even tried raising the car and it didnt help. ive tried to go and get an alignment but the shop said my suspension was to messed up and they couldn't even do anything. i figured theyd charge and arm and a leg to fix it so i just left. should i take it back in and have them check it out? also my tires sit unusually far back in the wheel welds. and i get violent shaking in the steering wheel. PLEASE HELP!

wonder why it had brand new tires....?? hmmm...

start with replacing any worn balljoints and stuff. then get the car aligned, find a shop that will do it. you just need to fix that toe.

repeat, it is the misaligned TOE that is killing the tires.

Tire might be rubbing against something causing it ruin the tires that fast. Bad shocks also don't help. Suspension might have a bent rod or rim that is bent causing it to be unbalanced.

The only alignment setting that is adjustable with stock parts. You know what camber is, but not toe?
