Default WTF is wrong with my suspension?

Um. It's kind of hard to see here (it was tough to photograph) but does anyone see a camber problem in the back? the front wheels are fine but the rear wheels are tilting in like this: / \

Also, I was driving along some rough roads tonight with the stereo turned down and, gee, the rear suspension is pretty loud when I go over bumps.

ugh [:'(]

It does look like there is a little negative camber there. Do you have a bunch of crap in your trunk? You haven't done any suspension have you?

Actually, the back of mine looks like it's sagging similarly recently. I dunno, I just told myself it was in my head. Could having a lower sway bar and not one on the top(for right now) make the suspension look lowered in the back?

Anyways, for your thing there... I have no idea, there's been a couple time that I've thought all my wheels looked like they had some wicked camber but I just pass it up and it goes away.

ok, I did have a LOT of crap in my trunk when I first noticed this (about 2 weeks ago). But I didn't really look at it carefully after I emptied all the stuff out of there. Now all that's in there is my sub (it's a Basslink -- 20 lbs. maybe?), jumper cables, spare tire.

Stock suspension far as I know.

Trunk's been empty for a while now. This can't be good for my tires.

I dunno if you looked but my pile's definitely doing it too, I really looked the other day and the back is definitely lower than the front...

Not really. It looks fairly normal to me, now. The camber problem seems to be going away too. Seems weird that it would take a week or so to go back to normal after taking all the weight out of the trunk.
