Question uneven wear on Rear Tyres

Hi Guys
I have a UK 2001 Grand Voyager 2.5 crd and i have noticed that the rear tyre are wearing unevenly scrubbing the outside edge on the rear N/S and the inside edge on the Rear O/S.

At first i thought it was the wheel bearing as the rear N/S is the worst but having jacked it up to check for wheel wobble. There was none and the rear shockers appeared to be ok. I therefore wondered if anyone has any idea what the problem is

Hi, this is an indication that the size between the front wheel centre and back wheel centre is smaller on nearside compared to offside. Your car must be crabbing slightly but not noticeably along the road. Try measuring the nearside centres against offside centres to see what you get first.
Past accident damage to front subframe or rear spring mounts methinks. You've a cart rear axle so wheels parallel.
Unless your cars got independent rear suspension.
Give it a good going over underneath for damage.
Goggs.
