Yes I think there were several settings used by Rover in an attempt I think to cure the common problem of uneven tyre wear on the rear - usually inside edges of the tyres. I had the uneven tyre wear on my first 75 and I remember the main dealer saying that he wished MGR would make up their minds. At the end of the day I think he found his own settings which appeared to cure the problem. He managed it on mine anyway.

I had a theory (never proved) that reverse parking in a Rover was not always carried out perfectly by owners and they kerbed the nearside rear wheel. Now we know that kerbing the fronts can upset the front end alignment - why not the same on the rear. Given that they can be adjusted.
