Rear wheel camber?

are the rear wheels supposed to be cambered in a bit, or should they be just like the front wheels? mine are cambered to a noticable degree.

I would ask a dealer service tech if possible. Mine aren't that way, but there maybe a +/- that's allowable

This is not a trivial question. Had to go to my 1500+ page RDX service manual to look up the camber angles. Here they are:
Camber angle:
Front: 0 deg, 10 min +/-45 min
Rear: -1 deg, 0 min +/-45 min

Not sure if negative angles are bottom in or bottom out. In any case, -1 deg should barely be noticable if at all.

yeah, i just read that myself. i'm going to put a small weight on a string and see how far away the top lip is when the bottom touches. i'll get some pics up as well. what i'm worried about is uneven tire wear. FTR, negative camber is what i'm seeing, it's when the tops of the tires are closer together than the bottom.

do you have anything in the trunk?

i had about 1000+ lbs in the trunk area over the weekend and there was noticable camber...ive noticed it with people in the back, as well, just not as much.

with nothing in the back, it looks pretty straight to me.
