I don't know if it's my wonky eyes, but I've become obsessed with the fact that one of my rear wheels looks like it's out of camber -does anyone know if this is easy adjustable and advisable as a DIY job, I know I won't get it spot on but I reckon 10mm aught to do it. I should get it 4 wheel aligned but I'm skint atm and it's annoying me.

So a little look around google tells me I should just cough up the money for a garage to do it or buy a Gunsen Trackrite.

If you change the camber you will need to have the tracking done again.

As far as I know the rear camber / castor / toe etc is completely unadjustable, and the front toe is.

I had mine laser aligned at Christmas, and it was a tiny tiny fraction out on the back end (hundredths of a degree or something daft).

It was a similar reading on it's previous alignment a couple of years ago.

Even though the front toe is spot-on, mine pulls very slightly left on the motorway which is a slight annoyance especially as it was on brand new tyres, but no big deal now I've got used to it.

Perhaps there are subframe mounting bushes etc on the rear end which may wear? There are also anti-roll bar bushes etc, perhaps worth a prod around underneath. :):)
