If your wearing the inside of your tires on the back, there are no adjustments to be off, the only cause is a bent rear end tube, not the axle. The fix, Get another rear end before you break an axle. An easy check, if therear endis bent forwards, it will give the rear end a toe in, if bent back will give it tow out, check it with a tape measure with a buddy.pick aspot on the tread and measure the distance between the front sides of the rear tires, and then measure the distance from the same exact spots but on the backside of the tires, They shoud beexactly the same. When there is a serios toe in or out they will wear the insides of the tires out and make the car drive funny, I just changed a rear end out for the same exact reason in a 98 crown vic, old people could only get 5,000 miles an a set of rear tires, and the insides would always wear out. </P>
