I have a 2003 Chevy Impala which was in a crash from the back. My back tires are eating themselves alot on the inside. now some people told me that it could be the alignment of the car but there was one point in time where i took my car to midas to change the oil and they showed me how there are some rods next to the tires which are bent. you can see they are somewhat bent and thats what they said was going to happen and it did! my question is what can I do or what should I do? get new tires and align the car or should i find some place that will somehow check the car hopefully not chartging me and tell me if those rods are the problem?

  1. Even a somewhat micro bend can affect a cars alignment greatly. If you saw it for yourself, then you know it's the cause. Buy new tires if you want. But they will grind to dust prematurely anyway. You need to get to the heart of that cars problem before you buy new tires otherwise, your tossing money in the air.  


  2. Seems to me your answer already exists in your own question.

    You have bent suspension arms.  They are not supposed to be bent.  The fact that they are bent will cause any tires you put on the car to be wrecked in short order.

    While I realize you don't want to spend any money to solve this problem you don't have a choice.  There is only one solution.  Replace the bent parts, get an alignment and replace your now unsafe tires.

  3. you know the problem so fork over the money to midas and let then change the bent swing arms and align all four tires

  4. Fix the camber? replace the rods.

    get new tires
