I noticed that the rear wheel in the left-hand side, driver's side, seems to have quite a bit more negative camber than the right hand side wheel, and also more than the front wheels.
I am no suspension expert so would like to know where to start looking for the faulty component?
The car drives great and I haven't noticed any unusual tyre wear on that wheel, I haven't heard any knocking from the rear wheels either. I only noticed it because the wheel looks over arched on that side, with the sports pack arches and 13x7 wheels.

It be a few things or a combination of them.

 

Some more common items hat com to mind;-

 

Worn / collapsed Trailing Arm Pin Bearing,

Worn Wheel Bearing
Worn Hub
Bent Trailing Arm, though this usually end up as excessive positive camber

Rusty Subframe

 

Most of these you'll find by jacking that part of the car up, grabbing the wheel and shaking it, however the Trailing Arm Pin Bearing will be loaded by pressure from the rubber cone, so you'll need to get in there with levers to try and move the arm back and forth, up and down.
