A week ago I noticed that the inside edge of my rear tires on my '97 LX 450 is worn down past the tread after only about 12K miles. I hadn't noticed in the past, probably because the cladding and mud flaps kept me from seeing the inside edge clearly.
The first shop that I took it to said they thought that the frame was bent, so I took it to a body shop. They said that the "axle" is bent and that the rear end needs to be replaced. They're closed today, and the truck's locked up for the weekend.
She's always driven straight, and I've never heard anything unusual from the rear end.
Has anyone else run into a similar situation? If so, what's the recommended solution? $1500 for the replacement plus $300 for new tires is just about more than I can rationalize.
Thanks in advance for the input.
