It's not a PCV! This is more complex problem. Many of us tried different things and there isn't firm solution for this fix. I can bet you that it's not PCV. Don't waste your money if it was replaced at 60k. They don't go out that quick.

YOUR RIGHT.....it didnt do anything to my low idle issue, I changed the PCV last night, took 5mins and $6......oh well at least I know its good now!
A friend of mine told me he had the same problem and took it to the dealer who did the t/b service which didnt fix his prroblem and they ended up telling him that nothing was wrong with his car and that's just the way the GS's are.
Im sure the car didnt do that when it was brand new.....there has to be something causing this, could you imagine paying $55k for a shaky car?
Im just going to do all the regular services you would want done and hope it helps a tad. Clean fuel injectors, spark plugs, clean t/b etc Ive got 120k

Update*
So i took my car to the shop were i got my alignment, who's one of my best buddies friends. Basically he said that the alignment could of been knocked loose by a pothole or something rough i ran over and caused the tires to wear prematurely like that. Also he said that -2* of camber could also be a reason why they're wearing that bad. What do you guys think? He suggests getting another alignment on thursday when i get my timing belt and water pump service done at his shop.

The inner wear doesn't really look that bad. Your tires look like have mostly even wear, even toward the middle. -2 degrees will wear the inner more but if it was significantly more worn I'd think it was alignment problem. Your wear looks pretty normal for a rear drive car that has coilovers and/or is lowered.

Sorry I dont have any input other than the standard "it must be camber and/or alignment". Hopefully it's not anything bent or damaged.
Thanks for the clarification!! ^^ I know it's the alignment that was bad because camber wear isnt THAT bad since the three other tires arent wearing too bad on the inside. I'm just going to take it to firestone to get an alignment after i install my bushings. It just sucks that my tire is probably ruined now...

Even without that inner tire wear problem, that tire is in need of replacement anyway as it is almost used up. At least from the picture it appears you are at the end of its tread life already. If your other rear tire tread wear is down that low I would replace that one as well even if it doesn't have the inner wear pattern.

Thanks for the clarification then! Time to start looking for some rims/Tires.
