I'm in the process of rebuilding the 72 Fairlady Z rear end. Before the tear down the rear camber was different left to right. I now know why. One or both of the rear struts are bent. 

Height from top of wheel nut studs to strut opening  - angle of strut tower to wheel plane 

Left 213mm - 14.6 degrees

Right 197mm - 13.1 degrees. 

a difference of 16mm / 1.5 degrees

Anyone know what the correct one is / i.e. which one is bent?

You assinged the wrong figures to the struts, BTW

That I did. Thanks Locky

Anyone know where I can source a replacement?

51mm Struts are hard to find...

Screw a gland nut in it, and press it back into it's correct position.
