no because its a fixed beam. i had the same problem, was considering making some kind of tapered spaces behind the hubs (discs on mine) but never got round to it and have since scraped the car

bent rear beam or incorrect tyre pressure would be my best guess as whats wrong.

I alter camber on rear of the rally car by loosening stub axle and put shims between stub and rear beam.
p.s can also adjust tracking using same method

As above. have a look on ebay for some EZ shims. You can adjust the toe and camber with these. I still need to fit mine but dont really know what settings i should use

the rear axle is fixed so no matter what suspension, the camber will always be set at around 1.5degrees. My first corsa and my current corsa both wear on the inner edge first. Corsa C's are they same, they have stupid negative camber at the back.
