Default Alignment question! please read!

Hey guys, my left-rear tire wore out badly
and just changed four tires (had to change anyways)

However, I got alignment not even 1 year ago and car goes straight (no problem)

Do I need only rear alignment?? back of my car is tilted toward left side. gap between tire and the fender on my left side is much much smaller.

Or, do I have to get four wheel alignment??
let me know Thanks!

(It has been more than two years in AW and still don`t have sig lol)

Maybe you should check your suspension on that side. I dont think bad alignment would cause the car to lean to one side. Busted suspension will cause bad alignment/ uneven tire wear

Default Are you dropped?...

With an aftermarket suspension it's a good idea to get an alignment twice a year. Seems I'm always getting some small toe adjustment with my alignments.

Default Just because the car goes straight does NOT mean your alignment is correct.

Your car has adjustments at all 4 carners, so yes, you need a 4 wheel alignement. And you need to be having the car aligned at least once a year.

If you have any suspension mods (i.e. adjustable length control arms, coilovers, slotted/threaded, etc.) part of optimizing handling includes corner balancing. If you have any adjustments, your objective is to balance the front left/right rear, left front/right rear for equal weight. Maybe you should check that or rear camber, thrust angle is out of whack.
