I thought the same on mine, took it to the dealer they found no problems. They said there is no adjustment for the rear wheels and suspension.

Mnext02, meet "camber". Camber, this is my friend Mnext02.

No, it's not adjustable. Take a look at the pics of the rear suspension up on a lift on my website ( http://zenspeed.com/smart.html ) and you'll see what's going on back there. (Hint: It's pretty rudimentary...)

Short answer: Normal.

Cheers,

Johnny
