Uneven wear on Rear Tires = bad shock? V70-XC70 99

posted by  someone claiming to be Rodger on  Tue Dec 19 08:26 CST 2000 [RELATED]

The inside edge of my rear passenger side Michelin MXM Pilot tire is cupping slightly and I am curious if it is because I have a bad shock.

When I say "cupping," I mean each tread block on the tire edge is wearing unevenly from front to back (is higher on the front than on the back). I ask this because a few thousand miles into owning the car, this shock seemed to be leaking fluid. When I took it to the dealer for service soon after I noticed this I showed it to them. They said it was just an undercoating spray I was seeing (the other shock did not have this fluid on it). Now at 32K miles on the car (not on the tires since I use another set of tires in the winter) the tire is wearing unevenly. I have been rotating the tires and keeping them balanced.
