Camber Problem?

My father purchased this car for me during my senior year of high school. (Class
of 06') At the time it had 26,000mi and we picked it up for 7k. I plan on lowering
it sometime soon but the thing is I can't figure out what's wrong with the back
right tire position. I get free wheel alignments because it came with my tire
package but anyways they can't seem to figure out the problem. This is what it
looks like from the back l----\. The back right tire sticks out like that but not
as much. It's def. noticeable when you stand near the back or when you're
driving behind me.

What could be the problem?
The car is a salvage title because the previous owner was rear ended. I know
def. the rear back right tire was affected somehow. What do I need to change
to get this thing straight?

Re: Camber Problem?

Sorry don't have a camera.
It's negative camber I think. Tire sticks out as if my car were lowered w/o a rear
camber kit.

Re: Camber Problem?

my suggestion is to check to see if the upper control arm is bent at all, if not, something is out of place, if its bent get a camber kit, it will replace the upper control arm, and possibly solve the problem, heres a pic to help
