I bought an 2003 Alero. the inside of the passenger side rear tire is wearing prematurely. If you look at the car from the rear you can see the tire is favoring the inside while the outside barely touches the ground. I measrured from the ground to the inside top of fender. That side of the car is sitting 1/2" lower than the other side. Best I can tell is there is something wrong with the strutt that is making it not sit level. Car has 60 K miles on it and the only thing I can think of doing is replacing both rear strutts. Any other ideas?

not sure what you meant buy check it for body damage, the car or the strutt. I know that the car was hit on that side and that fender was replaced. Structurally it seems to be inorder. Should i replace the spring if I replace the strutt?
