Re: 164? suspension bushes problem ?

Hey David,
The deal with the rear control arms is;
They are very vulnerable to bending. Mr. CareLess Mechanic bangs his floor 
jack into them, Clots of Snow and ice bend them... They have a tough life.
I don't know of a direct correlation between front tire wear and the rear 
control arms but having them bent doesn't help the overall alignment of the 
car.
I hope this is of some use to you.
