rear tire camber is off
The passengers side rear tire is leaning inward, causing my tire to wear unevenly. I know that the strut is blown, but am not sure if that would cause this problem. I have inspected the suspension quite well and I don't see anything out of order (compared to the other side) and everything feels pretty tight for a 21 year old car. Thanks for and help or advice.

how's your lateral link? Have you hit anything recently? No doughnuts into a curb or anything like that?
|
There are a lot of rubber bushings spread all over the suspension that can cause this. Since its on one side only, check everything for movement and look again for anything bent anywhere.

i know that nothing is bent but i the same problem with the front but there is less complication in the front suspension. All i did was replace the struts and it fixed the camber problem, but the rear is so much more complicated. I know that i haven't hit anything and it has been like this for a while now. I was hoping that someone else has had the same problem and could give me some advice.

There is no camber adjustment for the rear. If only one wheel is having a problem. I'd suspect the strut or spring. Since you already know that the strut is blown. I'd start there, it's relatively cheap and easy to replace provided you're mechanically inclined. I feel where you're coming from though... wouldn't want to put on a new set of tires to find out the hard way that it's not fixed. Alternatively, you could put on a used tire and see how that wears or you could pay for a lifetime alignment somewhere. They will tell you if there's a problem so you will have ample time to fix it before shredding your new tires and they will re-align it for free once you have it fixed. I should warn you, if you do replace the strut yourself... ALL those little parts are there for a reason. Go ahead and leave out the one that doesn't look like it does anything and you'll see exactly what I mean.
