Hello guys I had the rear shocks and springs change last week. Yesterday I notice that both of my rear tires not look straight? Both tires look angled out lilt this / \ is this normal??? I have no vibrations and maybe next week I'll get the front struts change and I'll get it aligned. It's not that much but it's noticeable any ideas???

You need an alignment. Where did you take it for the shocks to be replaced?


I took it to my shop but they don't performed alignments there. They only replaced the rear shocks and spring I thought you only need alignment when doing the fronts. I'm getting the fronts done next week then I'll be taking it to the alignment shop.

The angle you described can not be corrected with an alignment, on the rear wheels. If you do indeed have negative Camber, looking at the rear wheels from behind / \, you have a bent axle. Hopefully it's an illusion, but an alignment shop could check it.

I'll get it aligned after the front struts are installed. I need an alignment anyways. My friend has a brand new 2013 sequia and his wheels looks even more than angled.
 
After my car got rear ended, my rear left tire looked like \
The collosion center replaced the axle ( i think) and did an alignment and after that it was good
 
Maybe it's the angle I don't know. I'll take it to get an alignment next week after front shocks. I called the shop that installed the rear springs and shocks. He is an honest mechanic and told me that no my rear axle is not bent. Im gonna take it to him to get the front done he said he'll look at it, but he assures me the axle it's not bend
