Rear squatting.

Hey
Is it normal that the rear end noticeably squats. My rear tires are / \, where as the front are completely straight. I asked the dealer and they said it was suppose to be like that. But my rear tires have worn unevenly, more on the inside that outside.

Basically, the inside rears are almost bald, and its only been 35000km, which they said is normal because it is a high performance car . I knows thats BS but what can I do to fix the squatting.

Not normal for them to look / \ unless you've lowered your car without a camber kit to fix it.

Bring it back to the dealer. At my last oil change, I mentioned the rear tires are wearing un-evenly. They checked the wear and then offered a full 4 wheel alignment and 2 new rear tires.

Expecially if your still on the stock suspension and your tires are wearing unevenly. Take back to the dealer and call them on their . Heck I would even push for new tires depending on your mileage. But at the very least they should give you a free alignment.

It is normal for you to have between -0.5° and -1.5° camber on the rears not carrying any weight. Any added weight will amplify the phenomenom.

35,000km is kind of short, but if you never rotated your tires or loaded it badly or drove like a chicken without a head, well...

the rears do have some negative camber stock (as do most cars), while the fronts tend to have none at all.
