Can a knuckle bend, and if it does, could it be the cause for wild negative camber? I was messing w/my sleeves yesterday and I noticed on the right side the knuckle was basically touching the spring perch. I've had crazy camber on that side ever since I went through a pothole that took out both tires on the right side of my car...

So yea, is it possible? And would it be wise to get a knuckle with a rotor on it? Thx.

 

Yes it is possible. You may need professional help to determine the extent of the damage. Other parts could be messed up & can't really tell. You should probably take it to a collision repair place so they can let you know whats up & what to fix first...

 

I had the same problem, bent knuckle causing bad camber in the front. Bought it as part of a brake swap, just got another from the wreckers - problem solved.

 

they bend quite easily actually...

Bah...good to know. I'm scared I might have some frame damage; but just by running back and forward comparing both sides it looks like the knuckle is the culprit. I'll try and get a new one this week...

 

they can snap pretty easy too.

 

hayabusa dude: THAT'S BONKERS!!! PLEASE TELL US THE STORY!!!!!

 

some old bitch hit me pretty hard on my passenger side in a parking lot.
speed limit in a parking lot is 15.
she was speeding but the cops didnt care.

it was a good thing it snaped tho it took all the energy.
so not much stuff got damaged there.

 

Yea, if not for our suspension design it could have been much worse...
