Hey guys, I got an alignment last year and i remember the rear passenger side not sure if it was toe or caster would not adjust because some bushing was sized and the bolt wouldn't move. So the other day i looked under my car and I noticed that side the inner tire is basicly bald and the driver side has thread left. Now I know this is because of the toe or caster so now I'm trying to figure out which bushing it is I needed to replace. Is it the lower A arm? thanks

 

Toe causes uneven wear on a tire but also accelerates the wear of the tire ie if the tire is suppose to last 10k miles it will be much shorter then that with too much toe and one side of the tire will have less tread then the other.

Camber (which is what I think you mean) will wear a tire unevenly, but not make the tire wear out 'faster', ie if the tire is suppose to last 10k miles it will last roughly that but one side of the tire will have more tread then the other.

Caster is only for the front of the cars and affects most noticeably steering effort and centering.

 

so im sure its the toe then, which bushing adjusts that one?

 

Only the front uses all three adjustments (camber, caster, and toe). The rear is capable of toe and camber. The one cam closest to the front of the car is the primary toe adjustment (also the higher of the two) BUT both cams per side need to be moved in opposite motions to achieve a true alignment. If it won't move spray it with liquid wrench and use a big breaker bar. If you feel the bolt will snap stop and order another one, but it's gonna have to be moved one way or another.

Anti-bumpsteer kit will probably be the cheapest solution if you can not resolve the bolt issue as it removes the eccentric cams.
