Question My rear wheels (still) tilt in like this - \ / need advice...

Good evening,

My rear wheels have had about 1.5 degrees of positive camber for the past year - and I've been trying like heck to get rid of it. Here's what I have replaced in the rear end:

-shocks (last May)
-spring pads - now have 9mm's (last May - started with 19mm's)
-subframe mounts (last June)
-diff mount (last June)
-sway bar links (last May)
-springs (today - ones I too out were different than the OEM's I put in)
-(and rear axles too, but that shouldn't matter here - Feb '07)
-aligned by Indy last may, and checked again this past Friday

After all of that, Im right back to where I began - about 1.5 degrees positive camber when I should have zero. Very noticeable when looking at the car from the rear.

What now? Start looking towards the front possibly sagging, raising the rear? I always see our cars with sagging rears - I haven't seen anyone on the board have this opposite issue.

Any advice much appreciated . I have spent a lot of time on this one so far. Oh how I long for no camber...

Thanks,
dd

ps - This is a continuation of an earlier thread - I have summarized most of it in this post already, but the original thread: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=182291&page=5&highlight=rear+wheel+tilts+adjust
