I noticed that my rear tires are pitched outward and was wondering could possibly cause that. I think I may need to replace the rear shocks soon, could that cause the wheels to be crooked? I was also thinking that I might just need to take in in for a four wheel alignment, but I figured I would get a second opinion first. Thanks, Sean.

Does the ride height look like it's sagging in the rear?

Sounds like the air bags in the struts are blown.

Replace the shocks and then get a 4 wheel alignment. I'm sure it needs both.
