2004 Exp. Suspension/Camber
Yesterday I had to get my air pressure checked. Tires on the car are fairly new and vehicle has 60K miles.
We noticed that the inboard side of the tires were nearly worn out. Upon further investigation, we noticed that the camber on both rear wheel is off.
The tire tops on both sides are tilted in and that is why the tires are nearly worn out.
My question is: Is there a common item that impacts both sides that could have bent/broke/or came loose that would cause this problem.
This is a very new problem since I have only had the car back for about 6 months.
It had a front end collision in November and I got the car back in February.
Any help would be appreciated. If there is a particular item I should look at, pictures would be a great help.

It doesn't have to be a single component affecting both sides. For example the ball joints can be worn on both sides, or the alignment could be out. Your best bet is to bring it in for an alignment. They will check the front end for wear, and if anything needs to be replaced first, they will let you know.

If a shop did the front end repairs they should have had the front end aligned before giving the truck back to you.
When the transmission was done, did they tamper with the torsion bars at all?
