Both the 320 and the 323 would have had the standard concentric bushings originally. Eccentric bushings are available as a service part for both cars to correct for too much positive or negative camber. Check for bent or damaged mounting ears for the trailing arm mounts and bad wheel bearings first, if neither of those are at fault try the bushings.

since swapping the rear suspension on my 320 (complete 323i - diff, trailing arms, brakes, struts & shocks)I now have a right hand side rear wheel that sits out quite a bit at the bottom. Looking at the ETK database it appears that the 323 has eccentric rubber mountings on the suspension carrier (where trailing arms mount) as standard fittings, wheras the 320 has standard mountings or optional eccentric ones. Is this so? I thought I may just need some new bushes, but how do you get eccentric ones right?
