My Touring has 40mm lowering at the back.

However if you stand at the rear and look at whilst its driving or standing still the right hand wheel has more negative camber than the left.

The Subframe bushes have just been done so it cont be anything to do with those.

Can worn trailing arm bushes do this?

They'd have to be very worn but yea, they could.

More likely the trailing arm has been in some sort of collision and is a little bent..

Check the bushes first.
