Talk about the wrong mailing list, you should be on the VW Bug list, Rovers
never had swing axles.
The only thing that would cause rear wheels to cant in any direction is a
bent axle casing. That would make for major problems with half shafts,
driven hubs or the differential. I'd look closely again. It could be bent
wheels but rolling the truck forward would change the angle of the wheels as
the tires rotate.
Front wheels do have a slight cant because of steering angles. Think its
top out by a couple of degrees but more accentuated when the wheels are
turned.
If your rears are truly canted, its time for a new axle housing and may be
more items from the damage already done by running in the bent casing.
