Camber when adjusted brought it back to within range. So bushes were good the bods just hadn't adjusted camber had only adjusted toe.  Doesn't help though that the range is -1 to -2deg! Which means inner wears faster than outer.

Their Theory was that the major contributor towards wear on the edge is toe. Which is prob correct. But camber def. Needs to be within range.

Mine wears the outside edge of the nearside rear and the car has a litle drift to the left. I think mine must be a toe thing which I must get sorted out. There is definate negative camber and not upright.

Must try and remember who it was that suggested a bodyshop place in Denton (i think) that does 4 wheel alignment

I think this was the place?

Whether directional or not tyres can be swapped - just have to be taken off rims and swapped side to side. I had this done when noted wear starting to inner.

Just to be clear, the wear on the inside edge of the rear is due to the factory geometry settings right? The only downside being tyre wastage? Is that correct?

Yes, it has a comedy camber set up so it goes around corners better, downside is horrific tyre wear on the inner edges.

Wear on mine reduced once I had subframe bushes sorted
