2nd Generation Inner Tire Wear Out

1989 Toyota Camry 4cyl

Problem: Front tires inner wear out.

I replaced my tires and got a four wheel alignment last year (July 27, 2007).

I have new outer tie rods. It appears the control arms and struts are original.
FYI: Bushings are squeaking all over the place.

Should I replace the struts and control arm?

Any suggestions....................

The defective control arm bushings (where the sway bar goes in) are causing excessive toe-out ON TURNS; therefore, the straight line toe adjustment may still be correct, and the car will still wear the tires the way you are describing.
ALL second gen camrys I am fixing (including my former one) show the same type of wear.
The replacement control arm bushings from e-bay are not of the good quality, on my car they lasted only 1 year or 7 kmi
