Default 89 hatch with suspension/braking issue

whats up HT i cant figure this out so i came here.

car is a 89 dx hatch
obd1
b20b

when i come to a light and hit the brakes my right front wheel is jamming in (negative camber) and grinding like no tomorrow. when i get back on the gas it goes back to normal and i dont hear any noise, i can literally feel something shifting.

the car needs bushings all the way around, i know that. ive replaced the struts, springs, outer tie rods (now one is missing the bushing and cover wtf) and camber kit on the whole car.

rotors maybe? maybe the wheel bearing? the assembly has very very little play up and down (seen much much worse still driving).

sounds like you need to start replacing the parts you KNOW are worn out, bad bushings that allow a lot of suspension movement can do a lot of bad things...btw when you replaced all that other stuff did you get an alignment?

Jack the car up, set on jackstands and take a look. We can't diagnose broken, missing, or loose suspension parts over the internet.

Do you have adjustable camber arms?
