I have nothing productive to add!
I'm not aware of any way to adjust side-to-side positioning of the rear. I would think it's just factory tolerances and you're probably filling the wheelwells enough to notice it.

while it was in the air . i've always done this . all i can think of is i put the spacers back in on the wrong side where the contol arm bolts to the torque box . (i droped the whole rear out of the car when i replaced the bushings .)
i'm running double adjustable uppers and lowers , and you have too space then some ... this might be the problem . i hope .

all suspension bolts are supposed to be tightened while they have a load on them, this is for front and rear suspension. You should jack the car up again, loosen all the bolts some, set it down, see how it looks, and tighten everything up from there. The double adjustables should be the same length as the stockers that came off or youll be adjusting your pinion angle.

thank you .... i will try this . i have done it ether way in the past . in the air and with a load on it . (never had a problem ) first time for everthing .
but as for the adjustable arms ... if you put then at the same lenght as *(stock)* your not using them for what there made for
anyway there all ready set for the proper pinion angle that my car needs ... 
but , as i said thank you for the info .
