That's may well be the stock configuration, but there are actually at least
three different brackets (1, 2 and 3-notch), all with a slightly different
offset between the mounting holes and the holes for the trailing arm
bushings. In addition, the brackets can be installed upside down if
necessary to adjust the camber (which may require different combinations on
the left than on the right).
With a total of some 36 possible combinations of brackets and mounting
configurations, it's possible to make substantial alterations in camber.
Some time ago Brian Lanoway posted measurements of all the permutations -
perhaps he'll post it here again.
