    yup, especially if the suspension is older.

    anywhere from just under 1* to around 1.5* is typical for a 'stock' alignment. the rear will have noticeably more camber than the front at all times.

    It's 15 years old lol. I was with my sister backing out of her driveway and I was like "What the **** is that?!" I guess I just never noticed it which is odd because I'm very observant. Thanks though

    Then pull back the carpet in the trunk and look at the strut towers, if they are rusting away thats part of the issue.

    Otherwise if thats not the issue, then you need new rear struts and an alignment.

    F***. Rusted pretty f***ing good. I can tell that's the problem too because the driver's side rear camber is worse than the passenger side rear. The driver's side is very rusty...
