Check rear axle camber

 The camber on the rear axle is not adjustable.

If substantial deviations in the rear axle camber are found, the cause may be one of the following:

 Too great a difference in vehicle level between right and left-hand sides of vehicle.

 Accident damage on frame floor. Level differences at mounting points for rear axle carrier between left and right body side. Experience shows that bending caused by an accident also has an effect on the toe.
