I wonder why the rear camber is so unequal with the steering wheel turned? Might top mounts be badly seated throwing the car slightly askew?

Just wanted to throw in another idea (feel free to shoot it full of holes, because scrutiny is important) might the wheel be dragging slightly? Like, maybe some resistance is occuring somewhere. Differential? Or the brake? A bearing somewhere breaking down? Handbrake not releasing one side?

Might be worth taking it for a drive and crawling underneath it straight away afterwards and feeling around for anything which might be hotter one side than the other. You might find nothing, but it'd be a big clue in diagnosis.

I don't think there's an adjustment for caster on these cars. So it doesn't matter where you bring it - They won't be able to adjust it either. Its not something that can be done.
