Hi,

Am going to replace my tyres soon however noticed some odd wear on the driver side rear tyre.

Initially I thought it was due to the tyre running low on air (had a loose valve) however the wear has become more progressive even with the tyre at the correct psi:



Had a look at the car from the back and I could see the driver side camber is way off explaining the tyre wear.

Anyone know how I can remedy this, easy job or do I need aftermarket items to correct (or could it be worse, a bent hub from kerb damage)?

Camber bolts are relatively cheap, but worth checking for wear and tear or damage first....
The lateral links can also be adjusted.

Think I have damage to one or more of the rear suspension components (probably around the subframe area).

The previous wheel slammed into a low kerb so this could have done the damage. I am getting a replacement subframe fitted, will get the lateral links and other components checked.

It won't take much to wear the tyre. Mine's had the geometry done (drift spec LOL !) and wears the rears a bit too quickly for my liking....

Just had a look under the car and spotted the problem (why didn't I notice this before?!):

Driver Side Rear:



Compare the above to the passenger side:



I am thinking trailing arm is twisted for sure, possibly one of the lateral links? Sub frame looks fine so I will give that a miss, at least saves me the pennies.

That's only the drop-link mounting, but may be suggestive of other damage, or just the rear tracking having been knocked out...
Did you check the rear end geometry ?

P.S. above your tasteful pink hoop is there a bolt sticking out of your strut (red bit ?) .
