Rear tires cupping only on inner edges... ???

Hey smart people, I'd expect cupping all across the treads if I needed new shocks, or straight inner wear if I needed an alignment. What's up with this cupping only on both rear tires' inside edges?
2018 Camry LE, not hybrid, 2.5 engine, 70k miles.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

The rear suspension on both the 8th gen Camry and 5th gen Rav4 has an issue--they can get too much negative camber and wear the inside edge of the rear tires. The rear camber cannot be adjusted. You either need to replace the control arm with a new OEM part and hope it corrects the amount of negative camber or buy one of the several brands of adjustable aftermarket control arms.

See my post #3. That adjustment bolt on the rear suspension of the 5th gen RAV4 and 8th gen Camry will NOT prevent wear and cupping on the inside edge of the rear tires. You need adjustable control arms to really fix the issue.
