Only thing you can do to square up the rear camber is replace the bushes.

Get it 4 wheel aligned (www.alignmycar.co.uk) and get the printout to confirm ;)

or use adjustable camber/toe correction shims... replacing bushes would be less of a bodge tho!  :tongue:

as said, take it to get a 4-wheel alignment printout, and go from there.

if its way out that suggests the beam or a stub axle is bent, this would be bad.
