Do I need a rear alignment or...

adujust the rear right to its correct camber?

I was walking around the X and just caught my eye, I know the come factory with a negative camber but I'm not sure if the right is correct?
I would think the left rear is proper.Im not sure you can see in the pics,

I had put a square on the rubber of the right tire n slid the point of it up and the tip was flush with the plastic fender, did the same of the left tire and it was in about 1/2" to the middle of the rear plastic fender.

Any help will be appreciated,

NS

Hard to see any diff in the two side by side pics, imo.
Is your garage floor absolutely flat? Tire press identical
in both rear tires? Just some possibilities...

Maybe a ground level shot from the rear, showing both
angles of the rear set...

I agree with MD: I cannot see the difference in the 2 pics. As you said, the rears have a very visible negative camber on them, same as on mine. That helps with handling.
Are you feeling something with the ride? Are you running 19s? 20s?
