1999 306 sedan rear torsion bar adjustment
#8
In some of the pictures it does look like you have more camber than normal.  Difficult to tell for sure though.  There is no adjustment for camber & if it's noticeable then it's likely collapsed bearings.

The bearings do make direct contact with the axle shaft.  They also run on the outer bearing shell, which is an interference fit in the axle tube.  The axle shafts are likely to have suffered at least some wear unless you know the history of the beam and are sure it's had a good rebuild.  If wear has gone a long way the bearings give up completely, the shaft grinds through the bearing shell and in to the tube itself.  The tube is scrap then too.  The only way to tell how far your beam has gone is to strip it down.

If you have a look at the thread I linked to above it should help, including parts diagrams showing how the beam is constructed.
