Hello,

Recently, I noticed my rear wheels are cambered slightly. This may be common among mazda 3? Im not so sure.

Otherwise, what could be causing it and how do i get it fixed?

Thanks

Slight negative camber (top of the tire pointing in toward the middle of the car) is normal and used to reduce understeer. Perfectly straight tires give long tire life but drive like a pig.

If the top of the tire is pointing out away from the car that's a problem.

If you're concerned, have your alignment checked.

Considering that mazda3 have sports like handling, yes it does tend to give negative camber.

If you dont like it, get it re aligned.
