I was under my car this afternoon, and I noticed the rear insides of both rear tires is starting to ware prematurely. I know my rear springs are shot, and I am in the process of replacing them. Could that be what is cause it, or am I looking at rear wheel bearings?
 
Also check for bent or warped trailing arms. My tire was wearing bad on the inside and one arm was bent.

Yes, it could. And as posted, you will need an alignment done after putting in new springs. And chances are your rear struts and gone too, thanks to riding on broken springs.
