Major Suspension Problem

Hey guys i wrote a while back about a problem i was having but i couldnt get an answer.

anyway my issues are as follows

my mech from Florida stated that i needed new struts for the car (reason the rear pass tire as wearing with a hilly pattern on the middle of the thread.)

Second i just replaced the front tires (last Nov) (kumho ax's or something like that) but my two front tires are wearing as if the car has been lowered which it hasn't. the wear is indicating to me that the camber is off (wearing on the inside) but i haven't modded suspension or anything. When i got a balance the guy i took it to stated that they front tie end rods are need to be changed but i dont know where to find that part. but would that be whats causing the wear?

Also i while at the align and balance guy he stated that the bushings in the back that are attached to the bolt to tighten or alter the toe in the back is messed up. do you guys know the name of that part so that i can replace them.

PS

is there a bushing kit for the car i was thinking that i may just change them out while im in there.

Cupping is usually caused by bad shocks/struts, but don't overlook unbalanced tires, low tire pressure too. As for the uneven tire wear and the fact that no suspension mods have been done, I would guess that it is caused by incorrect toe setting. Get those tie worn rod ends changed, then get an alignment.
