Hi everyone im new on the forum and really hoping you guys can help diagnos a problem I have.

Its a 2011 Doblo van LWB.

Noticed the right rear tyre was worn on one side so had it replaced, 2 months later and its back to its origional state! As there is no alignment on the rear im really confused and cant afford new tyres every couple of months. Think the swingarm bushes may be gone but would thos cause this amount of wear on the tyre? Any input would be great. Thanks.
 
This is the bush, it looks as if its slide down the bolts but hasnt been looked at for over a year. Would a heavy load be enough to move it? Havent checked torque yet but will tonight

looks like the rubber has broken out + there seem to be marks where the bolts are as if the mounting has moved.
Kerbed it by any chance? if it is Bi-link things there is a lot of rubber to wear

Different vehicle ... but my friend has a Citroen van that has the same problem. In fact you can see one of the rear wheels 'canted over'. Apparently it's a well know problem with Citroens.

Yes, the bushes need changing. On his model of Citroen it's a 'monster job' and the accepted way of fixing it is by changing the whole arm/bushes.

Your Fiat ... I don't know .. but it certainly sounds like the bushes at fault.
