Rear Wheels Leaning-in at the top.

I don't think this is normal, the top of the rear wheels/tyres lean-in towards the centre of the car, only very slightly.

What normally causes this? Wheel alignment or bent axle or ??? :?

If it's just slightly leaning, it's normal. Wheel angles in 300-series are that way.

Its fine, it should have a tiny bit of negative camber anyway but the dedion setup does sag a little with age making it slightly more pronounced. Nothing to worry about.

Jim's one does that too, but it is also chewing the insides of the rear tyres, so I think the camber is a little too much......

Sound like it is leaning in a bit too much, perhaps time for a trip to wheel alignment joint eh?

Cheers!

Afaik, if rear tires are leaning too much it means that one have to start looking new rear axle :shock:
