He's right, it's fixed. As is the camber.
Wear on the inside of the tyre could be a sign that the trailing arm bearings are failing.

It's these bits you need. Those bearings wear but once you get movement in the arm there is a chance the axle pin will be damaged. One side on mine has some marks but has no play in the arm so just think what the axle would look like on one with wear showing.
I'd order a new axle if that's what your problem is.

Main dealer for this work will be expensive! still living in Dubai you may be an oil baron with loads of money.

And what was the final fix and cost of that for your car? The regulars here hate it when the poster just disappears without telling all.

add grease nipples on the rear arms. It will increase lifespan of the roll bearings.
