   Is your car lowered any chance? Camber like that is a common sign your rear beam is fucked.

   Get it up on a jack and see if you can wobble it, but either way pal its not looking good.

    It's fucked. Get it replaced as soon as possible. It will only get worse. IM axles offer a discount to users of the forum on refurbished beams.
