Strange rear tire tilt

[Williams]

So, my friend has this 2015 manual transmission Spark that he tows behind his Class C RV. He bought it about six months ago, and it’s got around 60,000 miles on it. The other day, he’s looking at it from behind and notices the top of the back tires are tilting inward, like they’re trying to do some sort of weird dance move! (his words). He’s never seen this before and has no clue if it’s always been like that or if it’s just a quirk of his Spark. Any thoughts?

The rear suspension might have some negative camber built in for stability, or the shape of the body might make it *look* like there's negative camber. An alignment would tell you if it's within spec. Also as a side note, the ICE Spark has a different rear suspension design than the EV Spark, and I haven't looked that closely at an ICE Spark.

Thanks. I’ll suggest he gets an alignment to check if the rear suspension's camber is within spec.
