Can you true the rear wheels on 406 coupes  inside corners of tyres wearing at a ridiculous rate.

If it was a Citroen I'd say your trailing arm bearings are knackered. I must
admit despite having owned a 406 for the last 3 years I don't really have
much idea what the rear suspension looks like. I crawl underneath twice a
year to inspect things and so far nothing has looked like it needs doing so
I tend to forget about it.

Rusted and ropy.
Dog-eared old copy.
Vintage and classic,
or just plain Jurassic:
all words to describe me.

As the Haynes Manual has a section on "Rear wheel toe setting", I guess the
answer is yes, you can true them.   There is apparently a track rod which is
adjusted in similar fashion to the front.

Yes it can be adjusted, my 406 estate needs to be watched carefully as
it once destroyed a set of rear tyres in less than three months - that
gets expensive. Any reasonably tyre fitter should know how to do it.
