Default RE: Rear Wheel

I noticed my right wheel tips in at the top when I go in reverse. Then when I go forward it looks straight agian. I had it up in the air and tried to find something loose and everything seems good. I would like to know if anybody has this problem?

There are only a few connection points for the rear wheel "knuckle" to attach to the car.

Two Dogbones
the rear spring
The camber rod
and the half shaft
maybe one more......it's 7:00 am on a Sunday for me ...

Ah, yep. I was wondering the same thing. I'm sure you've got a great answer, but that's also a great question.
