So finally came into conclusion that uneven tire wear is due to bent rear axle. FML!! Found a complete rear set with 3.42 ratio and G80, now, does anyone have any instructions on how to replace the whole entire rear assy? Any help would be appreciated and save me ~$700

Exactly how did you arrive at that conclusion.
Uneven tire wear in the rear of these can be caused by:
1. Bad shocks
2. Bent upper/lower trailing/control arms
3. Bent axle
I would lean towards the first two.

The vehicle had a right rear impact. Many things were replaced. My mechanic tried to "unbent" the axle and did manage to make the vehicle drive straight to save me money on axle. Alignment revealed rear wheel to be off by 0.6. I can actually see that front of the rear wheel pointed inward. Anyways, went to two different shops and both mentioned bent rear axle.
Got it replaced today. Was able to to adjust alignment to 0.2 (which is maximum allowed). Will see how it goes after *** of miles.
