On a standard Mini the only adjustment possible is for toe-in, there may be shims between the outer radius arm bracket and the subframe. Adding shims will give less toe-in. But if it's toed OUT (either side) and has no shims to remove, you have a problem. You can buy adjustable tracking and camber kits.

where abouts in the radius arm? i gotta do the adjustment cause my steering is completely out of wack trailing arm = radius arm. Outer bracket has 3 bolts, comes off once you remove the big nut. Take it to a wheel aligner, best step. You can make it worse real easy.

It`s """"4""" bolts for the braket - plus the radius arm pivot pin nut & you can """Modify""" that braket to suit (to a point) |

What he said..^^^ I can't bloody count sometimes!
Be careful you don't shear the horizontal bolts off, they get corroded inside the subframe sometimes. Mr BMC thoughtfully designed it so water, mud and slush get in there... 
If they creak, get the WD40 or oilcan out, work them gently to and for. |
