Re: Severe inner tire wear cause
Poor shocks tend to produce a 'cupping' wear pattern. It makes the tread of the tire look bumpy or wavy.
Even wear on the inside is always alignment oriented; specifically the camber is incorrect. If the camber is way off there is usually a specific cause that needs to be corrected, like worn suspension bushings or ball joints or a bent component (accident damage, severe off -roading etc. )
You had a shop check the alignment, right?
Did they actually DO an alignment, or did they say NO alignment changes were necessary? Did they actually place it on their alignment machine or did they just do a visual inspection?
IMHO anything that causes such severe tire wear will be noticed by a shop IF they actually place it on a machine. However, to do such this check they will have to charge you the money for an alignment.
