Icon6 1990 Prelude: inner tire wear mystery.

New to the forums, wondering if anyone could help me with this problem.

I have a 1990 Prelude that has excessive inner wear in the right rear tire only. It is currently lowered (how I dont know, it was purchased this way), has 18in wheels with very low pro tires (45s I believe). I just got an alignment and everything showed within spec, except the camber on this wheel.

They didn't really say what I could do to fix the wear (I won't be going back to them again). What could be the culprit of this wear? Any help greatly appreciated! Here is a pic of the wear:

Upper and/or Lower control arm bushings are shot, or either arm could possibly be bent.

I also have a camber issue on one of my wheels. Going to throw some new UCA bushings in all around since I was going to do that anyways and see if it solves my issue.

Is your lude 4WS?

I would definitely check upper control arm bushings, lower control arms, and ball joints.

Thanks for all the help guys.

It is not a 4WS, FYI.
