Got an alignment but rear wheels tilt inward

Ok guys I went and got an alignment this afternoon. Everything in spec now except maybe off by a few hundredths of a degree nothing youd ever notice.

Guy looks at the rears and notice they arent adjustable but my rear wheels are tilted inward. Left at -1.47 and right -1.07 and in 04 there was an alignment performed and the rear was -1.2 and -1.0.

What my problem here guys? Would a camber bolt kit help? Is it my rear sway bar?

the rear is setup with toe in to promote understeer. your measurements didnt change very much, so i wouldnt worry.

you cant adjust camber or caster on the rear. unless you have the beam bent to change toe, which only a few select people know how to, your stuck with it.

Yeah, there is rear toe-in from the factory. There was some talk last year about people bending the rear beam to correct this and greatly reduce understeer of the car. I believe our Sentra SE-R bethren started this, if you are interested in looking into that.
