    Would worn bushings cause alignment issues?

    I'm getting some pretty bad rear wear on the insides of my tires.

    My car is a 90 325i that's all stock. I went to get an alignment and the rear specs are the following...

    Rear Left Camber = -1.8 (Spec -2.5 to -1.5)
    Rear Left Toe = -0.71 (Spec -0.07 to 0.43)

    Rear Right Camber = -1.1 (Spec -2.5 to -1.5)
    Rear Right Toe = -0.75 (Spec -0.07 to 0.43)

    Rear Cross Camber = -0.7 (Spec -0.5 to 0.5)
    Rear Total Toe = -1.45 (Spec 0.25 to 0.48)

    I know all the damn bushings in the car need to be replaced, but right now, i just want to do the rears so that i don't have to buy tires every 5000 miles. Any ideas? I was thinking about just getting new RTABs thinking maybe that's what's causing the toe to go out of wack? Thanks for any advice!

        is there any specific ones i should buy? or can i just go to any auto parts store? I was gonna buy it from BavAuto but it's gonna take a week to get here so i rather just buy it locally....

          For a street car, use the OE bushings for the rear trailing arms. Your local dealer should be able to have them to you in 2-3 days, if they don't have them in stock.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
