Re: rear tyre scrubbed
you need to find a 4 wheel tracking center and have the rear tracking ajusted
Re: rear tyre scrubbed
And while you're looking in that area, you may need to check the rear stabiliser arms (perhaps they are called track control arms too). If they are worn, they can allow some movement of the rear wheels as you rock the wheel back and forth as if you are checking a wheel bearing for play.
I had the arms replaced on my old estate (do saloons also have these rear track arms?) and although the bolts and eccentric washers went back in the same position etc, it scrubbed the rear tyres in no time at all! 4 wheel alignment and all was OK.

Re: rear tyre scrubbed
Mine always wore the NSR unevenly, outside edge though, I always figured it was to do with the way she "leaned" into roundabouts...
Sorry that's no help at all is it? As you were...
