My rear wheels seem to point inwards quite alot, is there something seriously wrong here or is this adjustable?
i have hi-lows fitted but they are at standard length.

The shell curves in at this point, it may be exaggerated by Carlos wheels

You can do the rear tracking if you fit negative camber arms (I think)

The factory setting is toe-in for stability.

If you fit adjustable brackets on the outer end of the radius arm you can adjust camber and tracking (toe-in/out).
Different makes of brackets do it different ways but I would measure what you have accurately first before messing around with the angles.... as said already, the camera angle is deceptive (so it may not be what it looks like) and the toe-in is there for safety.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

I re-built one of my rear arms 3 times before as i kept getting this illusion, then i checked the other side to reallise that was the same lol.

i suppose the other thing would be to measure the geometery of the vehicle from one point to another to ensure everythig is inline. just a thought!!
