No they cant, but there will be a standard angle that the rear wheels should be, if its out you've probably bent the stub axle pin.
A picture straight from the back would be good, so we can see both wheel angles.

Try and compare it to the other side, very hard to tell from the pictures

That's in better condition than mine. (I hate Peugeot for not selling the genuine stub on it's own).
Track it because a sudden change in the rear geometry will have to be accounted for at the front.

New Axle would work out cheaper and easier probably. Have you had any tyre wear?
google sp engineering, they did mine.

are you on drums on the back? I have done the same thing twice! Found that i have split the case that the bearing were in. It was so bad (i thought it was fine) that the garage would not let me have the car back until they had fixed it! So get it checked out!
