I have a front wheel drive 98 Toyota Camry. The rear tires lean inward a little. I was told by one person that they are NOT suppose to and would need to be slotted so they would be straight up and down.
Another person told be that on a front wheel drive the rear wheels ARE suppose to lean inward a little.
HELP, which way is correct?
Thank you.

You need to have a wheel alignment done if you have any doubt. You can't just go changing things like that as you will through out the whole alignment and tear up the tires. The rear Camber spec is 1/2 deg negative so there is supposed to be some tilt. Every car has different specs.
