Alignment? Camber?
Question about the rear wheels. When I was sitting at a restaurant looking outside at my car, I thought I saw my right rear wheel slanted!?! I must be going crazy I thought :p But, I think the rear wheels are suppose to be like this: |------|, right? Is it possible that it would be like this: /------| or |-------\ or even both being slanted in or out? Is this from normal wear and tear over the years and is this an easy problem to correct (cost and such) if it really is like that. Thanks for your help guys.

so it is normal for it to be a little slanted? I thought my camber was going nuts and f'd up and gonna cost me an arm and leg to fix....as long as it's normal. Why do they do that? Wouldn't there be uneven wear then for the tires?

3 degrees??? You mean be able to be adjusted 3 degrees right? It should be about .6 degrees negative in the rear. Mine is 1.9 degrees negative but I don't feel like spending that much money on a camber kit.
