Inside tire wear on all 4 tires

I've got an 03 with about 70K miles on it and my cross terrains are getting close to worn out. I was checking them yesterday and noticed that all 4 tires have significantly more wear on the inside than the outside. In fact, if you measure the tread on the inside it's time to replace them now, but if you measure the tread on the outside I still have some miles left. I'm going to go ahead and replace them soon, but I'd like to correct the problem with the uneven wear. Is this likely an alignment issue where the camber just needs to be adjusted? Can they adjust camber on all 4 wheels? It had 40K miles on it when I bought it so I actually don't know the rotation history. I've never rotated or balance the tires in the 30K miles I've owned it, which is pretty slack, but if they are all wearing on the inside I doubt this would have corrected the problem anyway. Anybody else seen this problem?

Funny you mention that - I was changing the oil today, getting ready to rotate the tires on my 05 with 30K, and I noticed the same thing for the first time. I was searching "tire wear" and saw your post. Significantly more wear on inside edge of all four wheels. I have not had an alignment in the 30K miles, so I'm due. I hope that the alignment shows the camber out of spec.

I just flipped my tires from white letter out to white letter in and noticed the same thing.

I got new tires and an alignment this week. My alignment report showed a pretty significant toe adjustment on the right front, a slight toe adjustment on the left front, and a very slight camber adjustment on the right rear. I bought this thing with almost 40K miles on it so I don't know the rotation history, but my guess is the front tires were the ones wearing and they were rotated to the back at some point before I bought it. I'm going to be better about rotating this set, so we'll see what sort of wear pattern I get this time.

either a toe or camber issue....but since camber is pretty much fixed in our application, toe would be the culprit.
