negative camber
 
well, i've always noticed it, but never really thought anything of it, but my rear passanger has a lot more neg camber then the rest of my wheels (eg. \ )

i got into an accident in that spot (late 2001), but most damage to rear bumper and a dent in quarter panel, but when i had it checked out no one seemed to say anything about a bend in anything..so i thought nothing of it. (no wheel damage either)

a bit later i had it lowered on hr (early/mid 2002) and noticed that that particular wheel is still more tilted, but again, thought nothing of it (no difference in driving feel imo)

recently i went lower on sleeves, and now i really notice it's bad, but what im wondering is

is that normal for a 2001 civic (bc i saw another civic and noticed that his rear pass. wheel was a bit more tilted)

or did something happen from the accident that i never really knew about for 3 YEARS! (eg. bushing, bearing, control arm? etc..)

(will try n get pics up soon)

thanks

No its not normal.
Visit allingment shop and have them check your suspention at the rear, there might be some minor damage thats keep camber off track.
Or else, but camber kit and adjust it that way, may be more effective since presents more adjustability

There is a good possiblity you have some damage or a huge coincidence. If you need a camber kit, definitely go with SPC for your vehicle. We can take care of you on the kit or with any questions you have. Feel free to PM us. :)

Most likely there is damage in the suspension area....I was involved in a small curbing incident which blew out my rear left strut...now my rear left sits lower causing the right front to sit slightly higher, etc. etc. etc....any alignment shop could put it on a lift to inspect....

when I lowered my ride and then got a camber kit and had it aligned, depending on the angle you look at some times it looks a little off. just watch the way your tread is wearing. mine looked off but it wasnt
