Rear axle camber

[midnightsilvy]

Hey everyone

 

So recently this year my truck has gotten a pretty rough negative camber in the rear, which is worse on the driver side.

 

From what I understand you can't adjust a solid rear axle for camber and toe, so I need some tips, since obviously that means something is not good

 

What could be the culprit? What should I look for? Are these things expensive to replace? I really don't want to have my tires bald on one side because of this, anything helps, thanks!

this is only a guess, left rear spring has gotten weaker from carrying the weight of the fuel , which could affect the toe. as for camber the bearing and or the axle shafts are worn out , but they would have to be really bad to affect the camber

Interesting, so nothing good huh. I'll probably just have someone look at it and hopefully it's nothing too bad. Appreciate the suggestions, thanks!

My very first alignment, which was very early showed some rear camber.  Air pressure or slightly different diameters or tube not welded in dead straight or stack up of all three or even the sensor not set up square. That was 189K miles ago. Showed some toe, which is possible if the axle isn't square to the trucks centerline. Note the trust angle is about half the total rear toe? First set of tires went 125K and dead flat wear. Non-problem.
