IN Camber problem

Anybody else had this? Camber link is good, lateral link is fine, cannot tell if its the trailing arm or hub any ideas to what it more likely is? My tires are getting torn up from daily driving and my e-brake only pulls on the one side.Camber problem-camber-problem-001.jpg

I don't understand what your question is, is it just one side that has excessive camber?

Well from the looks of it you need to take more pictures of the suspension components in general. To me that looks like 'normal' FC camber in the rear due to the DTSS bushings.

It's likely at least partly due to a sagging or overly lowered suspension. The rear gains a lot of negative camber under compression, so when the car gets lower the rear gets lots of negative camber. This is likely the problem, and the drivers side will sag more due to the drivers weight being there all the time when driven vs the occasional passenger weight.

It was like this before the 1" drop too but I am sure that made it a little worse. Any way to tell if its the DTSS bushing without actually replacing them?

DTSS adjusts toe, not camber, it won't cause that sort of problem. Get yourself an adjustable subframe link in order to remove much of that camber.
