Rear wheel camber
I was coming home from a walk with my wife last night, and my car was just sitting there wanting to be admired. Upon walking up I noticed a slight camber in the rear tires, or at least I thought I did... I am very "in tune" with things that seem out of place or wonky with any of my automobiles, and from the straight back rear view it seriously seemed like my tires were leaning like this / \ but not near as significant, I used the slash marks to indicate direction of the "lean". In fact, I would say it's so insignificant that I barely even noticed it, but it still appeared off...
So, I ask those who know more than me, is a slight camber normal? If not and it's suppose to be straight up and down as an arrow, is a slight camber of this nature adjustable with an alignment? All my life I have had cars / trucks that you could either align all 4 wheels, or some just the front, so I would assume from what I see around the forum when searching for this issue (I did not find exactly what I was looking for) that some of you get "track alignments" before tracking your cars, so I assume it's possible to rectify if it's not supposed to be this way. Anyway, thank you in advance, and I apologize if this was covered elsewhere, but I searched and had numerous hits on camber, but nothing that answered my exact question. Have a great weekend!

Short answer: It's normal and you want it.

Yeah, it's very-very likely normal, I don't see why your car would have a track alignment, no tire shop, let alone dealership does that without spefically asking them to.
The litmus test is your tire wear, if it's even inside to outside, your camber (and toe) is perfectly dialed, no matter how it looks to our untrained eyes.
