differential adjustment , camber??
hi heres my problem with my fintail. i parked my fintail in a flat surface to check the suspension if it stand straight. front is okay but rear tires seems to tilt to one side. i measured both tires from the ground to the body and have a difference of half an inch. it seems not alot but its not straight and something is wrong. i checked the camber and its off just by looking so i adjust the camber to its last measurement but still its off? got new coil spring, shocks. still the same . could it be my differential ? what could be the problem.

Camber is determined by ride height (swing axle rear end). It's normal for there to be some negative camber with the car empty (tires lean out). You get the opposite with the car loaded (tires lean in).
The only way to adjust it is to change the ride height. Don't know what the setup is on the rear end of that chassis, but on the W108, the lower spring cup can be raised and lowered a bit, and there are shims for the compesator spring that goes across the center joint on cars without a hydropneumatic compensator (that is the self-leveling one).
