Rear end wobbly tyres destroyed

My GTI is chewing up tryes from the inside edge at the rear. When you hit a bump the rear steps out.

I have had it a 3 mechanics and 2 wheel places and they can't find the problem. It is doing both sides evenly???

The camber is off at the top of both wheels. They are balanced perfect 10g on each wheel.

Has any one had this problem? Is it the axle or shocks or just my bloody luck?

Please help................
