this is an indication of the rear suspension bushes or arm failing or bent. have the rear suspension completely rear repaired with all new bushes and then have the rear end wheel aligned.
A suspension part has come loose or is worn out. Check the top strut mounts under the hood. There may be a rubber plug to remove to see the top mounting plate. The three nuts around the perimeter of the strut plate are the mounting nuts, not the larger center nut-leave that one alone-it is for keeping the strut from coming apart. If that mount is good, check for a broken coil spring around the strut. Keep looking for the problem. If the tire leans out that bad, you should be able to spot the problem. Raise the wheel off the ground (recommend jack stands or blocks so it won't slip off the jack), grasp the wheel and shake it back and forth while watching for looseness or noise on the suspension parts connecting to the wheel hub at top and bottom- the upper and lower control arms and the strut connection. Good luck.
Looks like your gas shocks on the side that is lower has gone bad and will need to be replaced. Your going to have to replace both sides left and right and have the rest of the rear suspension inspected for any other issues that may be causing your car to lean.
Gas shocks are charged with gas and does help hold the car up and when the gar charge is gone due to time or leak. It can no longer hold th car up causing it to lean on the bad side.
Thank you for using Fixya and be safe.
The best thing to do is to take it to a local Frame and Alignment Shop and have them put the vehicle on a Frame Machine and take measurements to determine what is exactly bent before throwing money on parts you might not need.
I would lean towards the caliper being frozen up on that side. When its hot take the wheel off and see if the rotor is really hot (CAUTION IT MIGHT BE EXTREMELY HOT) If it is, time to change the caliper.
The front springs are different from the rear,it sound like you may have the front springs on the driver side and the rear springs on the passenger side (or visa versa)You will be able to see the longer 2 of the set,They go in the rear and are not as thick or stiff as the front.
