Re: nsr wheel
Standard steel wheels? Any suspension adjustments etc?
What a long strange trip it's been

Re: nsr wheel
Their not vertical, they have a bit of negative camber increasing as the suspension rises.

The "verticalness" of a wheel is called the camber.
On our vans, I think the rear suspension alignment is adjustable, so it could be that it's just been put together badly at some stage. Or something could be bent or rotten...
To be sure, take it to a reputable tyre place and get a four-wheel computerised alignment on it - it'll tell you what all the suspension angles are, and whether they're right or not. Last one I had done in the UK was about £40-odd - feels like a lot for ten minutes of wiggling the occasional wheel, until you find out how much the kit costs 'em!
