w126 300sd rear wheel camber
I just had the rear end rebuilt except for the trailing arm bushings(diff mount, sub frame bushings, shocks, springs). I had an immediate problem with a rubbing noise in the rear end that I determined was the parking brake shoes. I removed rear wheels and backed them off all the way. My rotors, pads and parking brake shoes need replacing - pkng. shoes were coming apart (pieces flaking off) rotors had big ridge front and back where pads have dug in over years and pads had plenty left in thickness, but pieces were missing out of corners.
There seems to be an additional problem - my rear wheels are cambered in at the bottom of the tires. I have done a search on other posts and it they all seem to point to the trailing arm bushings. Does this mean I need to install the eccentric bushings? Or should I have a four wheel alignment done at the dealer? Thanks for the help. I looked at the other posts and it seems each case is different.

How'd you determine there is too much camber? As the wheel travels up on compressoin it's suposed to gain camber. I don't know of any adjustment on the rear. If nothings bent and the wheel bearings are alright, stock bushings should fix it.
I do recomend using the dealer for alignment, nobody around here knows there head from camber plate.
