The rear suspension is fully adjustable for both toe in/out and camber,
(tip in/out). Check the rear control arm bushings and get all 4 wheels
properly aligned. Springs and wheel bearings are not the problem.

Subject: rear inner tire wear - weak spring fix - 87 westy

hello all

My 87 westy is experiencing excessive rear tire wear on the insides of
both
of the rear tires.  When the van is viewed from the rear the tires are
not
straight up and down due to the springs sagging / heavy load.  Any
suggestions on raising the springs without replacing them?  Rubber
spacers?
I and my relatively new Michelins beg for help.  Just upped the pressure
from 37 to 48psi hoping to delay the inevetable.
