When working on my car last time I noticed the driver side rear tire had much more visible camber then the driver side. This is the first time I've noticed this.

What would cause this? Is something broken?
 
If the ride height is the same on both sides then something is bent or you forgot to install a camber kit on one side!

Look at the upper a-arm, thats about all that can change camber to negative.
 
Ride height based on what? For the rear take ride height from the bolt head that connect the cross member or subframe to the car. You can not take ride height from the body, bumper, or even threads on the coilover body. Make sure it is a flat and level surface too! Check it.
It is quite possible that one side just sags more than the other, maybe a worn bushing is causing it or it just needs an alignment. I see you have an unknown suspension listed in your profile- that's a red flag. I wouldn't be surprised ( and you shouldn't be either) if one spring sags more than the other.
 
It's got Gab shocks on it, no clue what springs. I don't remember seeing this till after it sat for the winter.
It could be nothing more then how it's sitting (unlevel and the driveway is crappy so the car sunk into it LOL).
 
Make sence. So if you worried about it get the off the ground for awhile.
 
I can't really go an check out the car, it's not park/stored at home. I won't be going out to it for a couple of weeks so I'll have to look at it then.
