Default RR wheel/suspension issue? help....

I have an issue with my Right Rear axle i think?

I seem to be wearing every other tred on the inside of my tire for some reason. I have taken my car twice to two different places to get the alinement done on all four tires, and get tire rotations, and balancing. since then the tire that i first noticed this issue with is now on my front left, and now the tire that is in the RR spot is doing the same thing.

The last place i took my car to get the alignment checked said it was almost perfect. They seemed to think that the Toe could be adjusted on the rear of the car, so they tried that, and adjusted it out another -.01 degree. This was done on Friday of last week, and i think it is still doing this, because now and like before i hear a lot of tire noise coming from the RR, when i am driving at higher speeds.

Does anyone know what the problem could be, or what i should have a mechanic look for? Any help will greatly be appreciated.

Wheel bearing? Toe is usually (not always) what will destroy the inside of your tire, and yes, there is some OEM adjustment. But if they've been checking that and it's all within spec, there has to be something else.

I have also noticed that when i first roll down my drive way in the morning, i hear a sweaking noise coming from the same area, but then it goes away after about 50 feet or so.

Do you think it would be bearings? Or still something else?

I just talked with another dealership rep, and he seems to think it might be a wedge causing this problem. Which in his mind means i would have to replace the tire.
