D2 cutting rear tires

Hi all ,we have a 1999 Disco 2 7 seater with air bags on the rear .but the rear tires are wearing very badly on the inside . i cant find anything wrong with it ,the wheel bearings have no play on them and everything else looks good the bolts are tight, bushings good . i just cant find the problem

any ideas ?? i will try to get some pics of the tires

wrong pressure.

is that inside edge or center of tyre

This came up a little while ago.

I think the answer was four wheel alignment to find out where the car is misaligned.

That's your first port of call I think.

You have a suspension problem. the wheel is tilted in at the top allowing the tyre to ride on the bottom edge.

No this could be lots of things to cause this

loose wheel bearing
lift kit
worn suspension bushes

This is what come to mind for know. if you can check these your self and can't find a cause then get into a shop.

the thing is both wheels are cutting, and we fix landys so im sure we can fix it .i just cant find the fault .

i suspect the axel itself may be bent but i dont want to jump to such an extreme cause .

hve the wheels recently been tken off the front xle nd swped with the rers?

could be the fronts which scrub insted???

is the watts link ok ...?....i know it on paper wont make the tyres wear but worth a peek ...

air is 30 sumthing i cant remember exactly ,will add the extra and see . i know new ones are needed but i dont want them to end up the same way

worn suspension bushes? trailing arms bent?

update : i thought the wheel bearings were bad after all my checking, so we had another rear axel and thought it would be easier and less messy to swap the axels complete . after dropping the old axle it looks a little bent ( i dont know how it happened ) so it was a good call to swap the axles ,the disco is up in the air now with no axle and im sorting the best of both axles (bolts ,brakes,bushes and arms) to put it back together in the morning . i will see how this works out
