Rear Tires wear problem
Is there anyone on this forum beside me has rear tires wear problem? The car is stock and not abuse. I think it is the bushing that need to be replace? Do they have after market rear bushing to solve this problem yet? I know that Lexus don't sell bushing to fix this, but if I was to buy OEM parts what should I buy?
The front bushing will need to be replace also, so what kit should I buy?
Thanks,

This is exccessive tire wear, pretty much even. The tires have treat rating of 400 which should last more than 60K miles with my driving style (not that aggressive). I have change three sets of tires since 2001 and each set last an average of 15K miles.

When was the last time you had the car aligned?
Did the shop give you a print-out of the work done on their machine?
Have you actually looked at the bushings, or had someone kick the wheels while you lay under the car and feel for movement between those parts?

I've mentioned in a couple of older threads that I get excessive wear on the inside edges:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/suspension-and-brakes/75586-alignment-camber-settings-within-spec-yet-still-getting-excessive-inner-tire-wear.html
Since I sometimes move my (unidirectional) tires from front to rear and vice-versa to even out the wear, I can't tell if the front or rear (or both) is the culprit. I can't see wheel alignment helping your situation since the wear is even. (And, as I mentioned in thread 75586, my alignment is in spec and I still get uneven wear.)

I have the KDW Series 1(without the funky tread pattern) and i dont have any problems with tire wear. Car is lowered and driven hard all the time. If youre sure that the alignment is in spec(toe and camber) along with wheel balancing and non-warped rotors then i would say that it has to be bushings. That is unless youve been driving with low tire pressure of course.
Im pretty sure that TM engineering sells polyurethane bushings for the back also

I like to know if anyone has the same problem like my SC and fixed the problem via TM engineering. I just want to fix this problem so I can drive long distance again
