Exclamation possible suspension problem???

It seems like my rear-end has moved. The driver-side tire sticks out farther than my passenger-side tire. The offset and Backspacing is the same for all four of my tires. On my passenger-side tire, the top seems to be angled in a bit. Any ideas on what could be wrong??

not sure. maybe check your panhard rod and see if anything is amiss including the mounting points and such.

and about the top of the tire looking like its angled, maybe you should get your alignment checked.

You need to have the car parked on a perfectly flat surface (or at least have all four wheels on shimmed surfaces that are in the same horizontal plane) in order to diagnose this for certain. You'll need to check the left rear as well, and make sure it isn't a case of the body not sitting level due to aging right-side spring(s), a badly indexed left-side spring, or preloaded sta-bars.

Make sure that your right rear wheel isn't bent and that your RR axle bearing is in good shape.

After all that, it may be a case of you having developed a little negative camber in that axle. Not a bad thing to have in small doses for performance handling (up to -1* or so), and I'd guess that having precisely 0.00* degrees rear camber would be unlikely, actually.
