Default Rear Wheel Out 3.3 Degrees..................

Had the 81 wheel alignment done and they can't align the drivers side wheel. Guy says its out 3.3 degrees. Gave me a computer readout and the wheel looks like this /. Its in towards the top of the car. Any ideas what to look for or at? I always thought it looked funny, but never had it checked till now. Thanks for any help. :seeya

I have this exact same problem, but with both of my rear wheels. What's the problem? Will a suspension rebuild fix it? :confused:

Worn side yokes and strut rod bushings are the major reason you cannot align the rear. There should be almost no in-out movement of the side yokes.
