Default EP3 Suspension problem..

ok i have a 04 hatch something in my rear suspension bent or something im not really sure but my driverside wheel is sitting straight up and down (isnt normal considering i have around a 4inch drop ha) it should be cambering pritty hard but anyways any ideas? and i have no camber kit or anything by the way i didnt hit any big bumps or anything that could have caused it either. btw dont be a d*** just want opinions i havnt had a chance to take it apart yet i will be in the morning
