It'll only go bold on one side normaly If ur tracking out or if u got camber if they all fine and ur out side edge on tyres are being worn quicker it's cuz u Corning harder as ur lower and stiffer :lol:

corner edging wear can be cause by positive or negative tracking which is an easy thing too do but camber can only some time be adjust on the front so i dunno if camber can be adjusted on the rears best option too do is like others have said is track the vehicle too the correct setting of >> 1N+1
