Michael,
Something is very wrong if you have positive camber on a 1500. The
camber should be slightly negative with a new spring, becoming
increasingly so with age, especially on the drivers side.
My guess is that you have the wrong drive shafts. They were shorter
on mark IV cars (and early 1500's?) and these are often fitted by
DPO's by mistake. You need to measure them up. I think that I have
the measurements somewhere. If you need them get back to me.
