Rear Wheel Alignment

My 2003 Mini S has 82,000 miles. The inside of the reat tires are wearing out much faster than the rest of the tread. On my Corvette, there are cam bolts that can be used to adjust the suspension, but I don't see any way to adjust the rear suspension on the Mini. Am I missing something or how is the rear suspension adjusted?

Thanks

Randy

Sorry Randy, your 03 doesn't have any camber adjustment. MINI didn't add rear camber adjustment till Jan 05 on MINI'. You will need a set of lower arms to get the rear back to spec. If you need a set I'd check out the TSW arms any of the aftermarket arms will help you.
