Can any of you clever people tell me if the radius arm pivot shaft and the stub for the rear hub are parallel to each other ?

The problem I have is the o/s/r wheel looks to be leaning out at the top a fair bit more then the n/s, what I was wondering is if in the past before my ownership it slapped a curb and bent the radius arm if that's possible ?

No they are not.

All the suspension angles for the rear wheels are machined in to the Arm.
 

A somewhat common issue with the arms is people do from time to time smack kerbs and the like. The arms, as stout as they may seem, do bend and the rear end alignment does go out as a result.

I do routinely bend the arms back, however if it has a twist in it, that's harder to resolve. When I do bend them back, I actually go a bit further than needed, then when the arm is fitted back on, there's 'room to move' and the arm can then actually be shimmed back to true alignment.

Iv got another arm and fitted camber problem gone so most likely a bent arm
