Camber L -2,48° -
R -1,42° -

Symptoms:
Not tracking straight
Bad uneven tirewear {F}


I went out to get my car aligned today, but I wasnt expecting that the camber could not be adjusted and the shop said that it looked like the Left Front side might've had damage in the past. And I need to get it sorted because I got a set of new wheels & tires waiting to be put on. But the tirewear and the tracking has to go first. Will a camber kit suffice to fix this camber issue, or is there something else i have to consider before doing that? I've read very different opinions, hence the thread!

Toe looks alright now but i was kinda was shocked at the camber difference...

 

fixing/replacing what is bent/broken is better than just adding adjustment on top of something that is bent/broken.

just find the issue and fix it. Easy peasy.

 

so now that you fixed your toe (which was why your tires wore out in the first place), how is your steering feel now?

 

It actually still pulls to the right like before. But there is still a 0,10 degree positive toe, so I can figure that'd be the cause for it.. No idea actually why they left the toe to still be in the positive, and not just near 0,0... So is it actually fixed?

Camber is a bigger issue for me though.. I need a way to sort out what part may be bent on the Left Front side

 

Hey mate, good seeing you again. Still active!

I'd love to do that, but its not easy to figure out how and what may be bent though. How should I go about diagnosing that?

 

Hard to say, really.

it's usually spindles that bend first. But it could be anything.

If the UCA's are bent, then a camber kit definitely fixes it. But the ball joints that come with camber kits are all pure garbage.

UCA's don't normally bend because the spindle is more likely to absorb the impact...

This could also be a bad bushing. How do the bushings look?
