Default right rear wheel is tilted on MY05

T.T i just bought 05 gpw/tan

but right side of rear wheel is tilted....

upper part of wheel is pushed inward

does every car have that problem? or is it just my car?

why it's tilted...

and they also stated it as same as i did....

Are you referring to negative camber which results in the tires/wheels looking like / \ instead of | | ?

If the car is aligned properly, both left and rear sides per axle should look the same. In other words, have the same camber.

I don't know the factory alignment specs, but I'm assuming it calls for some negative camber in the rear -- perhaps -1.0.

Perhaps your alignment is off?

If your car goes toward one side of the road then def. your alignment is off. Go have that taken care of so your tires dont go bald prematurely.

the rear wheels are supposed to tilt inwards as you described. If your car is pulling to one side, I suggest checking your tire pressures first before you start spending money on alignments.

This is really simple. If one of your rear tires has *visually* different camber (on a flat surface with identical tire pressure) there is a huge problem with your alignment. End of story.
