Rear tires wear out on the inside bad

Did anyone fix this problem that we have on our cars? Going thru tires like crazy
Had the car lowered I little with links so now it's even worse. My rear tires on the inside just disappear I heard of the adjustable arms for our cars and saw one for $440. Does anyone know if there is a cheaper set? And did it solve the issue.
Thanks!

It's not dropped that much. On high position I am same now as on low before. I drive it now on middle setting unless I go fast. Had this problem for years just looking for a solution. Changing rear tires every 3-5k is not fun.

Did you get a 4 wheel alignment after dropping with the links? I learned the hard way that even dropping it a bit added a bit more negative camber, my toe also changed…which ate up my inner tires…esp in the rear. Suggest you get an alignment first.

rear camber bolts are a must even on some stock height vehicles.

Only adjustment available OEM is front and rear Toe - Only the ability to turn the wheels in or out.

K-MAC manufacture kits that correctly compensate providing ongoing adjustment for altering height, curb knock damage, inner edge tire wear and at the same time improve traction, braking and steering response.

They are replacement Camber, Caster and Toe bushings and come complete with extraction tools and additional feature of having twice the load bearing area of existing OEM bushings.

Front provide precise Camber and Caster adjustment and for the rear similar Camber kit with replacement Toe bushings also included allowing twice the adjustment range to compensate for the new rear Camber adjustment facility.

I'm lowered and my rears wear very evenly. Of course I have a 4 wheel alignment after lowering.

The fronts do wear on the inner edges as there is a good amount of negative camber.
