Howdy,

Just been looking at replacing the bushes on my car and have noticed that the left rear wheel has more negative camber than the other one.

Can anybody tell me what could be causing this and how i can fix it?

The tyre on the left side is almost worn through on the inner edge while the right hand side is still in good shape??

Thanks in advance

Steve :D

were the tyres put on at the same time?!
rear top mount might be gone or axle carrier bushes

Could be supension damage or knackered trailing arm bushes.

Cheers,

If its really bad, i.e down to the threads on the inside, could very well be suspension damage. Possibly bent trailing arm or the main crossmember. If it is the cross member its likely to be both sides though. I manage to bend my cross member so it can be done....

Does it drive badly? i.e vagueness in straigh lines and round corners

Sorry Fellas,

I have been off work ill for the the last few days so i didnt have access to the zone.

The tyres were put on at the same time, and the drive seems fine. Nothing really stands out as feeling wrong its just the tyre wear.

I'm getting a new tyre on some tme this week (before it wears through) so i can check out the suspension then.

Thanks for the help
Cheers
Steve. :D
