      problems with rear suspension

      So, i got in an accident a few months back. A car hit the back of my car
      pretty hard. I repaired it and no problems. Not until i found out that the bar
      that connects the tyres is kinda moved a little. Im not sure whats it called
      in english. It looks like a bone for the car. I went to workshops to see what
      they can do and they said its better to leave it like that or just sell it bcs they're
      afraid that it might get worst if they try to repair it. I had to replace 3 tyres on
      the left rear side of my car bcs of that problem. It keeps damaging the inner
      tyre but not the outer.

      the rear beam? axle?

      youll want to replace it most likely. did you have it at an alignment shop? if the inner tire is damaged, then you have too much camber, you might be able to just shim it. But that is not 100%, replacing would be best.

      I went to an alignment shop and they said they cant do anything. Just live with the problem and keep changing tyres
      or just sell it. Its the rear beam. So i should get it from chevy dealer?

      do you have any local salvage yards? might be a cheaper route.

      but yes, go buy a new beam, before you do, look under the car check the body on the rail where the beam mounts. If it is damaged more than adjustable for, then the frame is a problem as well.

      Yeaapp, ill try check the salvage yards and see what they can do. Its not the beam that is damaged
      but the thing that attaches the beam to the car. I dont know what its called.
