Bent diff housing?

Hi all,
      after some advice on my MK2 RS. When I bought it it was/is in pretty bad shape and when looking at the rear the left side seems to have some excessive camber/top of tyre leaning in when compared to the right side. I will probably take it to pedders or similar to have it looked at but given its a live axle at the rear my only guess can be that the axle tube is bent or the hub assembly. It drives without too much noise so Im not sure what Im in for yet.
         Ideas
                Cheers

    "back in the old days" we used to bend the axle tubes on the nascars and auscars we used to race at the Thunderdome to give us negitave camber on the rear, doubt if a pedders store will be able to fix the problem, would try a diff repairer
