Default Suspension??

I am wondering if bad shocks will cause both rear tires to wear faster?

I wouldn't think so. The caster and camber is fixed for the rear tires. If your toe is out, you've got a bigger problem than the shocks. It's probably you spinning the tires whether it be in the rain, burnouts, peeling out, or whatever. Mine are worn a little more in the rear, but it's from peeling out and chirping going into 2nd gear... basically driving like an *******.

The only way your toe would get out of alignment would be for the axle housing to be bent.... which is highly unlikely. That's why I said that would be a big problem lol. Are your tires balanced and air pressure up to the proper specs?
