98 V70 excessive rear camber

The rear wheels on my 98 have so much negative camber, that the tires are wearing too fast on the inside. I think this is common, due to a bushing failing.
Which bushing is that, and what brand bushings are acceptable? I know that URO is junk.
Thanks,

Csaba

Has`the rear alignment been adjusted? Passenger rear side was out on my 850 causing similar tire wear. Freeded up a couple of frozen bolts so it could be correctly adjusted and all is well. Unlike 240's, I don't recall reading that bushings can be an issue on these cars.

Assuming the car hasn't been hit or something bent, you have the arm link (1 on each side), if these are dead, I think you would be hearing clunks back there. There is also the axle mount bushings. I think Volvospeed has a how to on replacing these, probably not the best time of your life. Good luck. Mike
