Default Rear tire wearing on the inside

The rear drivers side tire is wearing out rapidly? I had alignment done and replaced the tire now it is showing wear the same type of wear again. If you have any idea what is could be causing this wear let me know.

Either your toe is out of alignment, you have a large amount of negative camber, or there is damage/wear to the structural components of the suspension.

Generally toe is what will rapidly wear your tires out. Which chassis is this on? I know I have an EK and the OEM rear toe arms are not adjustable, so although a shop will tell you they've done an alignment, in reality they've only aligned what they can adjust. Get the spec sheet on your alignment and see what the toe values are, it doesn't take much to get toe wear. You can get aftermarket arms that have toe adjustability for most applications.

It was the toe. Took it to another shop and they found the problem immediately. I would post the pics but do not have them yet. He took picks and is emailing them to me. No clue if the original shop are scammers or have a problem with their machine. I had them recheck it before I went to the new shop and they said everything was fine. Thanks for your help.
