i have noticed on my mini that one rear wheel is about 1cm further out than the other.
i have pulled rear subframe out to give it a freshen up, would the most likely cause of the rear wheel been out further on one side be a bent trailing arm pin?

also noticed one side had 2 shims in and the other didn't, could that have also been the cause?

where are the shims?? Or are they washers?? If you are in need of an almost complete dry subframe Im sure I can be of assistance.

Shims are often/sometimes used between the outer bracket and the subframe, to adjust to-in. But many cars have none.
Adding them gives less toe-in (or more toe-out).
