Default Rear tyre inner edge wear.

So, after having this problem on my Civic the other year and correcting it with adjustable rear arms, how do I fix it on a 2003 WRX Wagon please?

129k miles so all is in need of updating anyway. Just wondering where specifically causes the camber issue. It's out by a mile both sides judging by the state of the tyres i had to replace. All tread fine save for inners that were bald as a coot.

Have a look at tracking, and maybe some new adjustable camber bolts, have you lowered it?

Car isn't lowered, just on tired standard stuff. I don't want to whack on modified parts until I suss what's up with the OEM kit. For example would a factory one need Eibach bolts on it on standard ride height settings? Probably not, so where is mine out? Tracking looks fine as tyre wear across the remainder of the tyre is even, it's just on the inner edges which point to a camber issue.

Yes I'd agree with that, get it on a ramp and have a look I suppose, see if any things looks suspicious

That'll be on the cards, just wondering if it is a common issue on here. The Civics (pre-facelift EP3) suffered from a batch of rear camber arms that were too short. You either shimmed them or fitted the adjustable arms to deal with it as new honda arms were very expensive and no good for modifying. Just wondering if there we similar issues on these.
