I got an alignment about 12000 miles ago. They told me they couldnt align the rear until I purchased an adjustabe control arm. I have called all the local parts stores including the Nissan Dealership. Appearantly their isnt an adjustable control arm for the rear. Since then I have bought 4 tires and rotated the front to the rear. The rear tires are lasting abut 6000 miles. They are wearing on the middle to the outside of the tread. When driving the rear end jumps all over the road. What do I need to do to fix my problem?

Think about replacing your rear suspension system, new struts (possibly coils, too), and the strut mounts. And go somewhere else next time.
