Ok st had the rear of the car apart and had a good look. Can't get the hub off as its a 12 point 30mm socket bit and I only have a 6 point. I have fitted the bottom part of the Coilover wich was not fitted so it sits abit higher now so no rubbing. There is still a diferance in camber on the rear wheels.
Will have to put it into a garage and have them have a look as I give up. Doing my head in.

Nope. Now coilys are fitted propply on the rear there is still a 10mm diferance in camber between wheel rim and wheel arch. Is that something to worry about or am I just being obsessive?

Been discussed on here before. Some cars are like that and some anti. My wheels sit the same both sides
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

You was saying the camber was miles off not one side poking out more than the other
