I note the rear tires are leaning in the same on both sides.....jacked up the rear and looked around, no go as to trying to force the tires in/out so nothing spotted....gave up and lowered the car, wheels are both square up for all intents......
In the center below the Differential are 2 eccentric bolts that will ether move the tire bottoms inboard or outboard. If no more adjustment is left the strut rod bushings need to be replaced. Do not bend strut rods as many people have done over the years this was not a correct repair.
Hey Gene.
That's not a dumb question, I can list some of those if you want- joking.
I agree it is probably some play in the camber. I know you modified your car years ago, did you use a poly bushing in the rods? I would check them. The adjustable rods are fine but in reality, you are not road racing you're driving to the keys if I recall, so stock rods with good rubber bushings is all I would use and have used for 45 years without a problem.
If the axles in the diff are worn, they will allow the camber to change but you should feel and see them moving in and out with the car in the air. Where are axles supposed to be? There was no spec that I am aware of so that really can be some of the junk sold today is good. For reference I set them to 005-007" with up to 010 fine for most. If the car is stock with some miles on it then, depending on the year the axle may be well worn. I think you have a 71, if it's original I would not be surprised to find 030-040-050 or more endplay in them.
Check it out and let me know what you find.
in the above picture, the camber adjust "dial" labeled #1,
is it facing correctly towards the front or should it face the rear so it's easier to read????
mine was like the photo and just wondering it's how it's suppose to be.
when i removed mine, i didn't know that there were makings stamped on the other side, so i made my own marks on the side that i could see at the time.
will just use them when re assembling everything, so it should go back the same.

it should have some lines on it for markings and yes its on the correct side. It twists and the offset hole pushes out the lower part of the wheel/tire or pulls it in
Rear susp. dum question.....
