Knackered camber set up - what next?
I have a 97 UK turbo with camber bolts on the rear.
My friend had a bit of an off on a roundabout hit & broke the rear nearside suspension. He had it rebuilt but Ive just changed the shocks and with my camber bolts I can get 1 degree camber the right way on the off side but the best I get on the near side is 1degree the WRONG way :( Im guessing he slightly bent something, either the lateral suspension arms or the mounting points, not that anything looks wrong. Question: is there an adjustable upgrade I can get to give me more than the camber bolts allow? Is there adjustable bottom suspension arms? Cheers |
You can either have bent lateral links, bent strut, bent knuckle, bent trailing arm or all of the above! Put a straight edge on the lateral links to see if they are bent. Same goes for the strut. A bent knuckle is much harder to see. Basically if you replace all the components on that corner and you still can't get the alignment right, you have a bent knuckle. :(
You can use camber bolts, to an extent, to get camber back to a reasonable level but it might not be enough. And its better to have properly straight parts on there. |
Most likely the hub is bent its quite common, but as stated above check the other items but I suspect you will ultimately need to change the hub.
