It's probably caused by a ride height problem, most likely related to worn springs. It seems unusual in a six year old car but I've seen it before. Go to a shop that does 4 wheel alignment and make sure to get the print out from the alignment machine. A good alignment starts with ride height measure, and rear wheels are adjusted first. When you read the printout, make sure something has been done to the rear. A lot of techs only adjust the front

Yes there is adjustment. You need to get the alignment checked out. It could be worn bushes and/or damage to the suspension linkages and struts.

Rear wheel tilt 1976

Wow you have picked my brain from 1989 when I was in the body shop business. I used to fix fiberglass vehicles and most were corvettes. The older guy I used to work for showed me how to set the rear suspension up and we would jack the back of the car up and turn a cam and nut on a trac bar. The tire would be tilted at about 3 degrees inward (bottom of tire). You then would lower the car and the tire would set almost straight... I mean .... (ever so slight tilt). It has independent suspension as you well know and if you have checked the u-joints this is the next try. Worst case, a good alignment shop can fix your woes.
