Default Rear drivers side wheel tilted inward from top???

Hey guys, I have a 2002 Jaguar X-type sport and the rear driver side wheel is cocked inward from the top. Not sure why and was goin to take it in for an alignment but was wondering if anyone has had that problem? Cant see anything wrong underneath. Maybe needs a shim?

Both my rears are doing that. I'm just starting to get to the point where I can tell the difference in tread wear which means I have to do something soon. I did drop the car off for a four wheel alignment for that problem when I had the torque plate done but they said they couldn't do anything about it unless they ordered parts but didn't tell me what parts. (Long story short they broke the drivers side rocker panel when I picked it up and the guy that did all the work was on vaca for two weeks. Needless to say I haven't been back since - too pissed at the stuff they broke to deal with them.)

Yea i hear ya on that one. I took mine for an alignment and was told they couldnt do anything and i asked what to replace and they said they would hate to tell me the wrong thing. lol. Go to britishparts.co.uk and get your suspension parts. Real cheap!!! They are obviously in a dif country but still ship here for cheap. Im gettin the upper and lower control arms plus the front sway bar linkage kit for like 300 bucks shipped!!! They wanted 715 to just replace the lower. LOL. Hopefully this works

Hey guys, I can see that you have posted in exactly the right place

But have you tried a search of 'Camber adjustment' anywhere?

I don't know anything techwise with the X, but surely (please to the god Jaguar) camber is adjustable.

It must be?
