rear end question

so the other day i went to the bank and when i got to lookin at my max it looked as if the rear passenger side tire was more tucked then that driver side tire.. i looked at it a few times and it looked like that was the case.. i asked my friends and they all agreed.




what could cause this?
bad bushing?
i still havent gotten around to lifting the car up and taking stuff off and looking at it. but i was wondering if anybody has had a problem like this or if this is a sign or sumthin.

thanks.

Seriously...?

It's your camber..

This could be due to a bad alignment, no alignment, worn bushings, etc.

Your passenger side wheel has more negative camber than your driver side. There's a relatively huge disparity in terms of camber/caster/etc. being "in spec", so if you've had an alignment recently it could actually technically be in spec either way and thus no issue at all.
