It would seem there made down to a price rather than quality. Anyway car is going to go back to the chap who built engine and he’s going to service it , balance and check wheels for trueness , then do a laser alignment and geometry set up for me. He also said he doesn’t use any whiteline stuff anymore as it’s become unreliable

 

roll bars do exactly what it states on the tin, you thought it may have caused some 'tracking issues' but it can't as tracking and Geo set-up are totally independent of the roll bars
it may well feel odd when cornering, etc but this is something totally different

 

what would cause the rear passenger wheel to have a huge camber ? It was about 1/4 - nearly 1/2 an inch off straight. Bottom of wheel was leaning out. ?

 

can't recall age of your car but generally speaking they have no factory rear camber adjustment as std (only tracking) so its either a bent hub // damage or its had rear camber bolts incorrecty fitted / adjusted??

 

12mm out at the bottom, and assuming a 600mm wheel diameter, is only 1.15 degrees

 

It’s a 2016 sti.
have never touched suspension itself only arb and links. Like I’ve said previous I do live down a rough track although car isn’t used much it does have to go up and down it. Car has only done 51,000. Missus drives it quite a bit and there are some serious potholes on the A and B roads around us. I’m **** about avoiding them but couldn’t say about her ! lol

 

Im trying to recall the reading on the screen but yes when put in degrees it wasn’t a lot only noticed when technician pulled the device away and said this is where wheel should be it looked bad !
I think it was +\- 3.7 degrees and the opposite wheel was +\- 1.8 there was a difference I remember that. The fronts were ok on camber but were both facing to the right slightly. Which doesn’t explain car pulling to left !

 

that doesn't sound good, no

 

So Ł800 later , we’ve had a full service , full geometry setup , mot and a rear wheel hub / bearing , wheels balanced and brakes stripped and cleaned. She feels great. Alignment was out on one side and was toe out which apparently is a no no with Subarus. Now I very slight toe in and all corrected.

 

It's a no no on subarus (and other trailing arm cars) due to under suspension compression the toe out will increase, hence setting with toe in allows it to neutralise under compression and allow the rear to be more stable

 

Your journey from Scotland to Wales and back was quite exhausting. This can be really unsettling, especially on long journeys. The problem could be the shock absorbers or the tyre pressure.

 

very true. The tyre pressure was 43 fr and 40 rr. The mechanic thought I was off my head !! lol. He reduced it to 35 which he said it should be and he said it drive ok but has done full geometry anyway and toed in. He said the over pressure and tow out would have been a bad combination and would have tram lined bad. !

 

You may need to take a look at the steering gear or have a bearing replaced.

 

Yellow bit is an alloy thats why it's gone,simply. Whiteline non alloy just made of steel are super strong ,Yes takes rust like steel,no surprise here. On oem newage drop links You have rubber with 4 metal pins inside and thats is poor design(maybe they change it now)good till rubber holds them all but not really when You lower car on coilovers when You need to adjust size of them.
Im on superpro fronts ,will see how they rust.
Next maybe Your struts are shot or springs,my wrx was wobbly over 80mph ,first thing I did were bc racing coilovers
Mine porper steel whiteline below and super pro on the bottom
compare it to oem

 

I'm gonna call this out.....why do you embed random clickbait links into everything you post or quote?

 

I only noticed when you mentioned it.....they are tiny aren't they.
What do they link too

 

I wouldn’t click on anything like that. Probably some sort of scam/virus or at the very least they’ll be getting paid per click. I’ve noticed a few different accounts doing the same thing the last few years. Not convinced there’s real people behind the accounts. There also appears to be a lot more bot accounts bringing up old topics for no reason with very generic replies. Perhaps somebody is trying to boost the numbers of the forum for some reason.

 

I've used to 'report' button -- hopefully admin will take action against this new poster (spammer)

 

And they have gone !!

 

Until the next one appears.

 

You were right !!
