2	Check rear axle camber	The camber on the rear axle is not adjustable. If substantial deviations in the rear axle camber are found, the cause may be one of the following: Too great a difference in vehicle level between right and left-hand sides of vehicle. Camber strut bent. Accident damage to the frame floor. Level differences at the mounting points for the rear axle carrier between the left and right sides of the body. Experience shows that bending caused by an accident also has an effect on the toe.
