Rear Wheel Camber

Today, I noticed some negative camber in my right rear wheel. What's the cause? Full Disclosure: I've skimmed a curb or two making poor right turns, but not recently. Could it be the shock?

Below his the best picture that I have for now.

Thanks.

I'm not sure, but the GE's rear camber is not adjustable as the spindles are welded to the beam. I hope nothing is bent 🙏

Honestly that looks factory. Normally you have more negative camber in the rear to reduce oversteer.

My last alignment had my stock GE's camber at -0.9° on the RL and -1.2° on the RR.

All Hondas have a bit of camber in the rear. It is noticeable just by looking at the car (front wheel is straight, rear wheel is at a slight angle).

Just by the picture, it is hard to tell if it is OK or not.

Thanks of the replies, gents.

What caught my eye was that the right rear wheel seemed to have more negative camber than the left rear. It may be nothing to worry about. There is no unusual tire wear, and the car handles normally.

I'll look things over when get it on the rack next month, but I have no expertise in this, so I don't know how to look for damage.

If I can, I'll post more pictures.
