Sloan, it sounds like you are describing a camber issue with one of the rear
wheels. Normally these are near vertical to the naked eye although they do
have a slight negative camber (the top of the tire leans into the car) to the
tune of half a degree to one degree, more if they have been messed with.
On a normal car the camber is governed by the trailing arm bracket type and
orientation and can be messed up with worn trailing arm bushes.
Is this what you are describing, the bottom of one rear tire is sticking out
more than the other and this happen only after the recent spring/shock
installation ?

Subject: [6pack] question about rear suspension
Team,
My brother has just had new mid-grade rear springs and a tube shock
conversion
installed on his 73-Six. The shock conversion was the type that bolts right
on
to the existing mount points, I forget the name. His right rear tire is still
squatting a bit. It's noticable following him, and with a bubble level on the
center caps, it appears the other three are just right, but this one is out
at
the bottom. If I tried to state that with technical tire terms, I'd probably
use the wrong term. Any tips on what may cause this or how to adjust?
thanks,
Sloane :)
69-Six
