horrible tire wear, passenger rear

[MichiganMat]

Hey all-

The passenger rear tire on my D2 is worn really really badly compared to the other 3. Any ideas what could be causing it? I've jacked up the tire and checked for play in the bearing but it felt fine. Alignment? Bad tire? Im friggin' stumped.

bent axle housing?

what kind of tires are they?

Pictures of the rear would help. Maybe trailing arm issues? Bent rim?

Apologies for all the repeated threads, the forum has some issues with my browser (Safari).

I've got a 3" RTE lift on OME's and Maxxis BigHorn MTs all around.
Stock axles.

The tire is just plain worn down. Wear is even across the tread, but the lugs of the tire are "ramped" for lack of a better term. The fronts of the lugs are much less worn than the rears. Wear is even across the entire tire, no signs of problems to the belt/casing/sidewalls.

I've only had it offroad a couple of times and didn't go overboard or hardcore on it. I did tow a fatass dual-axel trailer behind it a few times, and towed a racecar for 5 hours, dunno if that caused any issues. Could a pot-hole bend an axle?

I'll get some pics and get back to ya'll

It is evenly worn, or more on one edge than the other?

Actually, come to think of it, about a year ago I took it offroading and blew out the OME shock, oil everywhere, etc... replaced the shock shortly after and didn't think much of it. Maybe the axle was bent in the process.

Are stock axles weak enough to bend like that?

that wear sounds like a bad/worn out shock.
