Default Rear Tire Wear

Have a 98 S70 and wearing out the inside tread of the rear tires. What are the general fixes for a sagging rear (car). A tire alignment shop said that you don't align the rear of an S70 and that sounded stranger to me. Thanks in advance!

The rear is sagging resulting in the camber being off. Sounds like the springs may have gotten a bit soft on you. That is, if everything else has checked out. I'm just throwing out ideas.

I would wait for confirmation either from a mechanic ora tech that indeed it is the springs before purchasing anything. Hate to throw money into something when its not needed. I hope more people jump in to help with your problem. If it is the springs, the people at FCP have excellent prices. http://fcpgroton.com/CSV70/csv70shocks.htm

I would also check the shocks.
