Can someone please use MS Paint or something and circle the rear trailing arm in this picture... if its even in this picture. If not, please describe to me where it is.

From my recent encounter with a curb, I have terrible camber issues on the rear left wheel. Here are the pics of the bad camber, and then of the setup w/out the wheel on. Mind you, this picture of the car with the wheel on was taken while on jackstands.... normally the camber gets MORE level when wheels are off the ground. NOTE: The wheel spins straight, just has a chunk on the inner well cracked out. No wobble... Also, the picture with the wheel off was during install, not after the accident. I don't know what it looks like back there right now...

Can't see the camber captan because the car is jackup with no tire

If you have camber in the back, use some wahsers from home depot.

Use the search function to find out how.

alirght i'm mad bored so...



to fix the negative camber in the back, do what he said: just stick some washers between the compensator arm and it's mounting point on the chassis. 2 or 3 should do the trick, but you'll need more or less depending on how bad it really is, and the thickness of the washers. search for "washer trick".

Oh man.. I've got the same problem 'cept mine is on the passenger side. How much are trailing arms?

tonyxcom

before you worry about trailing arms.

INSPECT YOUR CAR FOR DAMAGE FIRST.

It could be..
the trailing arm
the compensator arm
the lower control arm
the hub assembly

or any combination of the above.

DCStreetHtch

take you car to an alignment or good tire shop and they should be able to identify what part of the assembly is causing the poor camber. you may just need to have your camber kit re-adjusted, that is a camber kit i see right?!!?

Were you joking when you asked this question? You do realize you have a camber kit right? Get it adjusted.
