Default Alignment issue. Cause?

Greetings All,
just had my spring alignment done. What could be the cause of the misalignment on the rear right?
Taking away the obvious for you
-factory suspension arms installed and in good order.
-factory bushings installed and in good order
-rims not bent
-all tires high speed balanced.

soliciting your thoughts and experience. Thanks!

if the arms and bushes are solid, I'd be looking at the hub bearing.

I know this issue very well. Changed a rack, all of elements - no luck. Ended with an adjustable rear upper wishbones.

Pros - I have an alignment as from a factory
Cons - ride quality is rather hardcore (but I believe it will help with handling very very much), especially with my Korean antiroll bars on poli-bushes

In case an alignment wins - can help arrange a set of them (custom made in Poland).

If you've changed your upper and lower arms it's pretty obvious then it's going to be the stub axle .

It's the camber which is out yes ..upper , lower arms + stub axle will affect camber . Tie rod will affect the castor on the rear which is adjustable
