406 rear suspension link bars

Having just bought a 406 estate with lots of camber on the rear wheels, I have been reading through the posts on this subject. Could someone please help me with the description "link bars" as this term does not appear in Haynes.

Thanks!

I've found that "link bars" means the adjustable track rods at the rear of the 406.

However, these wouldn't cause excess camber, just inaccurate toe-in/out and heavy tyre wear.

Do you mean camber?

The rear suspension has banana shaped bars which link the tops of the rear hubs with the subframe - I guess problems here may cause too much camber, but you'd be talking serious problems - like accident damage...

Thanks for that. I'll follow up a little later with a reference to previous posts on the subject.
