of course look at the bushings as bones suggested but if there is nothing to see there, i would look at the a arm.

I know my LCA bushings on my W116 no longer had the holes in the center but were offcenter from age ...I would suspect much the same with rear tire wear issues....however its possible to have a tweeked trailing arm...but with less than perfec bushings how can that be determined...I know its a catch-22 situation.
