Hello rickf! Looks like you need a shell box in the back filled with sand.

No, It rides just fine with the positive camber. I drove and raced VW's for decades before buying a M151 so I am quite used to the swing arm suspension. It is just that modern computerized alignment machines that attach to all four wheels don't know what to do when they see that setup. Even when you tell it to do a manual front only alignment it still argues with you. LOL. Now when I say modern this was done 20 years ago when that Hunter alignment machine was state of the art. when we closed that shop we could not sell it, nobody wants it because there is no software for it anymore. It still works but just does not have software for the latest vehicles.
