Excessive Camber on Offside Rear

[Dan318-is]

As above, when moving, the amount of negative camber is almost twice as much as the other rear wheel.

The top leans in a lot when moving but not when static i dont understand

What could be causing this? Wheel Bearing? Bent Stub Axle? Or jsut a Bush?

please help i dont wont to pay 80 quid for another tyre!

[johnono]

bent strut, a mate had the exact same, and said after looking at all of it the damper/strut arrangement wasnt straight creatig a weird lean

have a butchy ;)

[Dan318-is]

that was the other cause i looked up but didnt want to think about

at least iv got an excuse to get HnR kit now

[Dan318-is]

strut looks straight

got my mum to drive it slow up the road (god help us all)

and couldnt see any

think il get my mate to follow me 2nite n c what happens

[johnono]

hmmm , sounds odd fella, Jhonno has the same (mabey) bother as u at the mo.. Could be a group fix!

[Dan318-is]

what negative camber when moving???

[johnono]

nah, a wrong offset on his pass. front wheel. It rubs when he has passengers,

the drivers is under the arch, but the pass. is level to it so rubs under load

[Dan318-is]

hmm

i hate suspension stuff its to complicated

at least his probo aint bent strut

[johnono]

i was just thinking, if your leans back on load, could it be a fixture issue?

[Dan318-is]

what du mean mate?

i no that the right rear wheel leans in when moving but not when static

and thats with just me in the car no one else.

Did i mention vibration from that side over 80

saying this i could not see the camber when my mum was driving it so it mite jsut be the fact that when my mate watched me i was on a bumpy road??

im not sure mate

[johnono]

bush has ripped off mate, so no restriction in movement or in vibration dampening.

get in there my son

[Dan318-is]

so its deffo bush if its vibrating and fuckin up camber??

what bush?

Powerflex here i come!

your a genius johnno!

[johnono]

get it looked at first fella, dont waste money unnessasrily (like its possible with an e30)

[Dan318-is]

but ur pretty sure its bushes ye?? from what iv said it makes sense

coudlnt be wheel bearing no?

what bushes are we on about dude?

[johnono]

ok..

look at 7 and 8. they may be the cause

or look at part 1. its not a bush, but it is a camber correcter / adjuster so it may be there.
