Than you for the replies.

I have just gone through the service manual - (thanks Mo):

Relevant articles if anyone should read this in the future are:
32-010
32-230
32-240
32-250

For 123.133 (82-85 300D USA) cars the rear spring PN is 123 324 36 04. I had one with red slashes, indicating it was a 'short spring', and subject to use with three-nub, or 19mm spring pads.

I think I started with correct rear springs and spring pads. I now have verified that I have correct springs and shorter than stock spring pads, meaning I should have excess negative camber if anything.

As t walgamuth suggested, Ill ballast it and see how it goes. But, since I have come up with the same results following replacing a lot of stuff, I am skeptical that it will change (until the new components wear out :-) .

Are there any safety concerns or major tire wear concerns running with this positive camber?

The only other thing I can think of is the new CVJ reman axles...but..,I cant see how this would affect it.

Tom - why would the front end's not affect the rear somehow?
