I've spoken with WayneO a few days ago and I'm sure the issue is those three little bolts.

Here's my reason why:

While not on the same angle, or with the same size tyres, you can see the angle of my rear camber. Both sides were the same.

The fix?

Messing around with those three bolts until I was happy with the adjustment.

WayneO, when you change the bolt positions then put the rear end back on the ground drive your subi forward and back again to let the rear end settle - then assess the camber and go from there ;)

yeah I have a similar photo of my wagon from before I did it too, looked quite like that. Tried to dig it up to post here but couldn't find it.

Heya Bennie cheers for the call the other day, wow that camber seems worse than mine and it was fixed by those three bolts, I am still waiting for a day off to adjust mine.

Do I need to jack the L from the Diff or will the std jack on the body be fine, also is it a easy two person job (one on the bolts and one on the hub) or is it easy enough with just one person, and would I need a rear wheel alignment after I complete the adjustment.

Cheers for your help once again.

Cheers

Sorry for the late reply mate - I clapped out the internet allowance for last month :(

You can do it yourself. There's no need for a second person for anything other than to hand you another coldie while doing the work ;)
