Not sure but I think we are saying the same thing. Seems like the difference is that I missed you were suggesting how to deal with suspension as is and I was coming from a suspension that is in good shape that can be adjusted to be in spec. If we are not saying the same thing that's OK.

Coincidentally, this past Thursday I replaced two front tires on my wife's 335. They are certainly proud of run flat tires. The inside of the tires were worn more than the outside. I am taking it in Monday for an alignment.

We are on the same page for sure :thumbup:

Obviously I and you both recommend replacing the parts that are worn in the rear then bringing into spec on the alignment. If he wants to just get it align until he wants to overhaul the worn suspension, dialing out the toe will take a lot of the scrubbing on the rear edges that happens when too much neg camber and too much toe is present. That's definitely a band aid fix which could buy some time for the OP until he wants to really fix the problem.

OP I think you need to replace those rear swing arm ball joints, and possibly the wishbone control arms, then get an alignment, those are the two most popular culprits in the rear. The straight guide link is usually pretty stout, and above 100k the bushings on the subframe may need to be checked/replaced as well.
