Wheels sagging in the back......Very akward
When moving cars in my drive way at night, I drove my mom's camry behind mine with the headlights on and my back wheels looked bent. They werent' "l...l" like normally, but they were "/...\" I just got new tires on and I know that this ain't good for the tread. Darnit, just when I thought things were looking up, another problem arises.
 What the hell do I do?

Re: Wheels sagging in the back......Very akward
I didn't think the back of cars needed alignment though? I thought it was just for the front only.

Re: Wheels sagging in the back......Very akward
When I got hit in the rear end, the mechanic told me that I had to replace the bushings but that was only cause they were creaking every time the back end leaned. I looked at them and they are hard and a little cracked.
Now, how would go about recambering the suspension in the back? I've got a chilton manual handy.

Re: Wheels sagging in the back......Very akward
look on ami's 4th gen website to see about using longer bolts and washers to change the camber of your wheels. its fairly simple, you just move the upper control arm out further.
although i would say that if everything is stock, a stock component is worn beyond its life, and thats whats making you have bad camber. you can fix it with the washers and longer bolts, but you will only be covering up another more serious suspension problem
