Then you have the only leaf-sprung car in history that doesn't.
I've owned a few Falcons, over several different models, and that was always the shortcoming of the wagon on bumpy unsealed roads.
At one point in history, the family ride went from an XF sedan to an XF wagon, to an EB sedan, to an EF wagon, and both wagons had the same issue.
And as I said, HD leaves could only make it worse.
But that is a digression.
Even with rock-hard suspension, it is hard to imagine it causing that level of scrubbing. Please understand that we've not doubting you, just struggling to envisage scenarios that fit.
Do you have any photos of the wear? I suspect we might not be fully understanding where on the shoulder the wear is happening.
Could you also please let us know what size tyre, rim width and offset, and pressure you're running.
In terms of pursuing "simple" options that you can sneak past the missus, it may be that change in tyre, profile, or even offset, could alleviate the symptoms.
