In addition to worn trailing arm bushings and improperly set up trailing arm
brackets there are a couple of other possible fixes for excess negative camber.
The obvious reason for this is worn compressed original springs therefore a
simple fix is to put new springs on the rear. The swap is simple, costs only
$40 to $50 for a replacement pair of stock springs and takes about a half hour
per wheel. Another simple fix, assuming your current springs aren't too weak
is to add one of those aluminum or urethane spacers under each rear spring. If
I remember correctly a 1/2 inch spacer has a multiplier effect in raising the
height of the rear, eg: a 1/2 inch spacer gives you a 3/4 or 1" increase in
height.
