I think it's time for a suspension alignment. Make sure who ever does it satisfies the static load requirements or ride height. On a 308, this consists of full fuel tanks, 44 lbs of luggage, and 2 people on board. It may be different on your 355.
Also, are you driving around with excess load in your trunk?
Have you lowered the rear ride height and not compensated for it?
Most irs suspensions will introduce more negative camber as the suspension compresses.

depends what you are going for - a comforting drive, or some aggressive alignment specs.
it sounds to me like you have some excessive rear camber that you do not use. sure, you could take it out, but sometimes it can have ill effects with the car and not handle as well. with directional tires (which I'm almost positive you use), you can rotate the tires, but you'll need to dismount the tires from the wheels and rotate them from side to side due to the wheel & tire sizes that are different from front to rear. |

Looks like I've worn the inside of each of my back tires down to the steel on my F355. The middle to outside tread is still in fairly good condition but not great. Is this a normal wear pattern or is something else wrong. Tom |
