I have a 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor XLS AWD and the rear tires wear down much faster on the outside of the tire leaving them almost bare whereas the inside of the tire has plenty of thread. This is happening to both rear tires. looked underneath and cannot find any sort of adjustment that will push the bottom half of the tire out (which is what it needs). Any advice will be greatly appreciated..
The front end will need alignment kits installed that allow for the adjustment to be made to correct the tire wear, this has to be done on a alignment machine to set correctly, just eye balling it is not an option.
the answer I gave still applies, u need an adjustment kit, front or rear makes no diff. Why the inappropriate? please change that, this info does not fit that rating.
We have 2005 Mitshubishi Endeavor with 106000 miles on it AWD. Legendary tires problems, We are on our fourth set. Bought Goodyear tires best $ could buy. It had four wheel alligment. After only 4000 miles rear outer edges on tires wore down. Started pulling my hair. Dont have much in first place. Fish tailing in winter, you name it it got it. Thank you very much.

It need not be the camber (tyre lean) at fault, the rear end may have developed excess toe-in. The adjustment for that would look different.

The front tires are not wearing down uneven. It is the back rear tires that have this problem
tires wearing from middle of tire to the inside
is there any way to adjust camber
.You need to have the suspension inspected for any worn rubber bushing that may alllow tire movement and uneven wear. If you have done this then you may need adjustments that are not within the factory limits, the wear yoyu discrive is most likely caused by what is called "camber" camber is the tilt of the wheel inborad or outbord. If just one edge is wearing then you need to look for problems with the control arms that hold that factory angle of camber. This would be upper and lower control arms that stabilize the wheel. And first and formost you need to find a very experienced front end expert, they are likely at the dealer, ask how long they have been in the business, tell them exactly what the issues are and tell him that other shops have been unable to correct the wear issue of the rear tires. The bottom line here is that you need a technician that can think outside the box and not just set it "specs" called for in the alignment chart.
You will need to speak with the tech, not the service writer. Excuse my spelling errors above, spell check is down on the site.
Hope this helps.
