my drivers side rear tire on my 02 sunfire coupe is wearing on the inside. i know the car has been in an accident but i believe it was in the front. could that be the cause? or does it maybe sound like a bad wheel bearing? thanks!

I had that problem with one of my rear tires. It end up been my rear struts were worn out.

This happened to my mom's metro after she rolled it... we had it fixed, just the roof re shaped and new windshield put in... but.. when it rolled it bent the driver rear rim, usually if it bends the rim thats all the damage there is however, this also bent .. what would you call it.. a kind of spindle that is the break hub and attaches the shock to the axle to the wheel. that could be bent. I would take it to an alignment shop to get checked out because that is the easiest way to find out, most places wont charge (so much) to find the problem.. and if you can fix it yourself then great.. it might just need an alignment.

yeah ive been thinkin about getting an alignment on it. and i think the rear shocks may be original @ 102k miles, so theyre probly worn out

Rear shocks won't change the suspension geometry in that way.

Either a bent twist beam, or bad wheel bearing. You would probably hear/feel the bearing if it was bad also.

well i does make sort of a droning noise like a wheel bearing, but to me it sounds like it is in the front

Then jack up your car in the back, one side at a time, with the e-brake off, and the wheels chocked, and do 2 things.
First: Shake down the tire, meaning, grab it at 9 and 3, or 12 and 6, and push with one hand, while pulling with the other, trying to make a rocking motion with your hands. If you feel any movement at all, then the wheel bearing is more than likely bad. If you do feel movement, have someone else do the rocking motion, and check behind the wheel and make sure you don't have anything broken (such as the strut bolt, or spindle bolts, etc.). If there is any movement here then other than a broken bolt, the only real problem is the wheel bearing.
Second: Spin the tire while holding onto the strut body, or trailing arm or something, if you do not feel any movement in the previous step. Don't be afraid to give it a good spin. The faster you spin, the more pronounced a bad wheel bearing "roughness" will be. It should be perfectly smooth. If you feel any roughness then the wheel bearing is going bad.

You can do this test for the front as well, but it's a much more difficult without a lift, and you have to have both front wheels of the ground at the same time. Sometimes, you have to put it in gear and have the idle speed of the motor spin the wheels while you check for roughness. This can be dangerous if your not careful, and you have to be absolutely sure the back wheels have the e-brake ON, AND the wheels are chocked, AND you are using jack stands on BOTH sides. Always be cautious when doing something like this.
