Rear tire at a weird angle.

[harrisonchang]

I just noticed today that my rear driver's side tire is at an angle. All my other tires are at a 0 degree camber. Anyone know how I can fix this? Or attempt to fix it? It's too cold out for me to try anything, but I want to know what to do for when I'm going to try.

Take your car and get it aligned.

Which plane is it angled in? Bent trailing arms are fairly common and will cause an extreme toe angle. Best bet it to take it to a shop you trust.

my trailing arms are completely straight. Took the tire off to check everything today. It was fine.

Uh...the top part it in, the bottom of the wheel sticks out. I wouldn't know what you call that.

That is toe. If the botom sticks out further than the top that is negative camber. the top sticks out mor then it is positive. Toe it is both wheels are faceing in like the lines... /car\ or\car/ ..instead of [car]. Than you have caster which is nothing you will notice first and harder to explain without diagrams. Get your toe angles checked. Hope this helps.

Caster......when left and right wheels are not directly across from each other....

Here is a good find for you, and everyone else to understand the basics
