Suspension problem
1998 Dodge Neon 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
My sister was given a 1998 Dodge Neon, the two rear tires are bowing in at the top. What is the most likely cause, as I believe it may be the axle. Also I would need a good diagram of the axle assembly if it is the axle so I can email it to her.

Most likley cause is it needs an all four wheel alignment! And or the springs need to be replaced, is it sagging in back?

From what I understand it does not sag in the back, the rear tires on both sides are bowing towards the cabin.
