If you've got a spit like that you're right to question it. Every one I
have ever seen has negative camber(wider at the bottom than the top) and
every where you stop people ask if there's something wrong with your
suspension. I have a friend who had his spring rearched rather than
purchase new. His wheels now stand straight up and the lack of cornering
stability is noticible. Get with a good alignment shop somethings not
kosher there. New rear springs are reasonable and availible from several
sources. I have a fairly fresh used one if it comes to that.But get it
fixed. What fun is a spit if you can't corner like a rocket on rails?
Best of luck
