Hello
In my eclipse gs from 1993 I saw that left rear wheel (on driver's side
) is a little moved towards the exhoust and the  right rear wheel is
moved outside. Under the car there is no signs of any crush  and I saw
another eclipse with the same geometry. Is it wrong geometry??

If your car is FWD and not AWD, then it sounds like the rear suspension
lateral rod (L to R) is bent (should be straight), or else one of the main
pivot bushes is toast. Rods get bent when someone spins out into a curb.

If the lateral rod and the axle are straight, then the driver's side
trailing arm bush has failed. Time to take the rear suspension apart and see
what's broken or bent.
