Axles have a upward bend (bow) in center to set camber when loaded.
Your axle appears to have a curved bend vs a 'bow'
How does it compare to front axle bow?
Bikes were on back......did tire wear show up afterwards?
Bikes were on back and you had sway issues
Excessive wear on inside is an alignment/camber issue which can be caused by overloading or bent axle
Identify cause/fix before new tires
Wear did show up after bikes began riding on the back. Sway was the big reason I stopped carrying them back there, amongst other structural concerns discussed in my previous thread.
Front axle seems to have less bow to it.
Wouldn't an upward bend cause outer edge wear vs inner? If so, I am inclined to think the bikes caused it....of course, toe-out may be in play too?
