Rear subframe shift

[Torey3]

Hi guys
2018 vert with steeda progressive lowering springs. I got it aligned afterwards and the rears are like -1.9 and -1.7 camber. Last week, 6 months after alignment, I got new rear tires and noticed it looks out of whack. The right rear tire looks shifted out by a an inch or so. I don't think it's a camber issue. Could the whole rear subframe have shifted right?
Thanks

Can you post top down views of each tire. Why do you believe it's not a camber issue?

The most probable reason is that the camber bolt came loose and allowed the tire to camber out. The camber bolt is hard to get to so it is possible that it wasn't properly torqued when the alignment was done.

Don't think it's camber because both the top and bottom of the right tire are out further than the left. The camber bolt loosening would have kicked out the bottom and sucked in the top I believe, "more negative camber"

From my experience it's been more likely that the top of the tire gets kicked out for more positive camber.

Top down pictures of the tires may help determine whether it's camber or not.

The rear subframe typically doesn't shift on its own. If the entire subframe is loosened it is possible for it to be reinstalled in a different position as there is a lot of tolerance in the mounting points but that would have been apparent after the install.

Did they take all four wheels off and not put them back in their proper locations? From your wheels, you have the staggered PP1 set-up. Check the tire sizes. 255 in front and 275 in back (assuming stock sizes). A few members have posted this issue before. Hopefully, they didn’t mount the tire on the wrong wheel.
