Question My left rear wheel tilts in like this \, what to adjust?

..as viewed from the rear of the car

I tried some searching, but I dont know what this condition is called. Toe, camber?

It's tilted in enough so that when I kneel down behind the car I can make it out with my eye. Its at least a few degrees. What can I check / adjust to alleviate this in the meantime before getting an alignment?

I just replaced my rear axles and sway bar links. The car could have well done this prior and I just wasnt at that level of detail on it yet.

thanks as always,
dd

PS - I had a much more exaggerated problem when I took my car of of jackstands - everyone here told me it was normal. This tilting is what remains after drving the car ~20 miles or so.

(sorry for all the threads, im working pretty much full time to get the 82 on the road for the NE spring)
