Wear was caused by rear toe out. NOTE: The toe adjustment bolts on the GS wear out due to the design. We could not figure out why my rears kept toeing out- went back on alignment rack and it was toed out again after a week! Pulled a toe bolt and it is shot. Double check your alignment in a week at home with two tape measures and two straight edges (assuming you do not own toe plates) to make sure this is not your problem.

I'd do it just to save yourself possible headache in the future. Let's face it our cars suspension sucks and the bushings are worn out over time. It's a not to expensive mod that could save you headache in the future.
