Uneven wear on one tire
I have 6K mile P zeros on the XK8, and in the process of fixing the drivers rear bearing, I realized that the PASSENGER rear is wearing very heavily on the inner edge, outside still looks new like all the other tires, but the inner half is showing the wear bars already. driver side is perfect. I know camber is the probable culprit, but It can't be adjusted either, correct? So am I looking for certain bushings to be worn? The struts? My mechanic buddy who fixed the bearing laughed and said looked like it was getting peeled out too much, well I have a few times, but not frequently.........thoughts?

Camber Wear
Your rear passenger tire wear may be related to the driver's side problem you've recently experienced. It appears the right rear has a negative camber (tire tilting inward at the top) which creates inside tire wear. If your drivers's rear hub problem let the left rear of the vehicle sag, it would have created a negative camber on the right rear, thus wearing the inside of the tread. Once the driver's rear hub is repaired, you can check camber on both rear wheels and correct accordingly.

So now I realized Front and back are wearing inside
Doing front brakes and realized when I took pass front off that it is wearing just like the rear, out side is great and inside is down to the bars, about 10K on them now, so is my whole car leaning to the drivers side? Shocks weak on the drivers maybe? Since it is almost the same front and back I feel it must be suspension related rather than alignment, thoughts?
