Rear Wheel Alignment
 

I am showing unusual wear on the rear wheels of my '98 TJ. The
pattern is a saw tooth on the outer edge, noticable when rubbing your
hand from front to back (not outside to inside). Are the rear wheels
adjustable and could the problem be fixed?

Check the tire pressure first. Low pressure will make that pattern too.

That is cupping and is usually caused by a dead shock.

I second the shock thing...the "saw tooth" is a dead give away that the tire
is bouncing down the road instead of staying in contact with it.
