So, my rear tires do not sit right, the angle isn't right. Hope you guys know what I'm trying to say.
Tires are more and more ruined, further they go under the car.
Could it be that my rear axle is bent?

Sorry for my bad english :)

Here are pics that show something. There has never been an issue with tire pressure or anything.

Re: Rear tires do not sit right? rear axle ?

sounds like your describing rear camber problems and since you have a solid axle out back i would say something is bent. first thing to do is get it on an alignment rack and see how far out everything is.

Yeah, I wasn't sure because there is no adjustable camber because it's a solid axle.
Looks like I have to check this out, so I don't go through another set of rear tires in a couple of days.

id say its more than likely the weld that holds the axle tube into the housing broke, and its letting the axle tube sag. or on the off chance you pounded a bushing or the torque box and the rear end isnt sitting square under the car anymore, look at the gaps between the front and back of the wheel and the fender and compare the left side to the right side.

Most likely your axle tubes are bent. My friend's mach looked like it had negative camber on both sides which looked a little odd to me so we checked it out and ended up being the axle tubes. Post a pic if you can of the car from the rear

okay! it's pretty simple! your axle is bent... I would take your car to an autobody shop and have them throw your car on an unibody alignment rack and see what else is out of whack just in case...
