Wear on the inside of the tyre could be a sign that the trailing arm bearings are failing.

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.

will have a look at it , i will pass by the dealer to see if i can get the bearings only or I must change the whole axle.
