Recently picked up a 95 Del Sol SI. The issue I am having is that the top of my front passenger wheel is cambered out and wearing the out side of the tire . I have changed struts on all 4 corners, sway bar end links on the front,upper control arms on the front, lower ball joints on the front, front wheel bearings. No noticeable issue with the LCA and looks newer. What in gods name can be going on here? Could there be an issue with the spring? What am I missing here?

All components are stock.

 

The body is sitting up too high... the lower the car gets, the further in the top of the tire will move, as in positive camber will turn into negative camber. If the wheel gap is about the same on both front tires and the positive camber is worse on the right side... something may also be bent... like the knuckle.

 

Are your control arms at a level position you gotta remember that once you tighten it down theres only so much they can move without ripping thats the only thing i can think of that could cause that they dont weigh much. Ebay has cheap lowering springs that come with adjustable collars lowering it a little if its not your control arms or buy a camber kit and get it aligned

 

Great point about the LCA. I literally just got done loosening all upper and lower control arm bolt and setting the vehicle weight on the wheel. No freaking change. I did notice that the upper ball joint isn't pulled all the way through the knuckle and the nut is tight. The upper control arm is about 3/8 of an inch further away from the knuckle compared to the driver side. Im starting to wonder if the previous owner installed the wron UCA....

 

Yea that could be another reason why

 

Welp all the parts checked out as correct. I even checked the height of the lower control arm from the ground and its the same as the driver side.Only thing I can think of now is that maybe there is something going on with the spring. Found a set of cheap ebay coilovers locally for $40. Gonna give it a shot. I'm not really worried about ride quality because this is just my turbo project and not a daily. I just need ir level so it doesn't eat up the tire.

 

You only mentioned the replacement struts were 'oem' spec. But what brand/model were they? What do they look like? If you're not sure, send a link to the listing you bought (if you bought them online).

 

Struts are just some auto zone duralast ones.
The more and more I'm looking at things, it seems like the passenger side spring is stiffer than the driver side for some reason.

 

Gotta be the wrong springs on that thing. It's like 2" higher than stock. Front AND rear.

 

That's what I'm leaning toward. I have some cheap coilover sleeves I'm gonna use to test/troublesshoot with.

 

Willing to bet someone crammed Accord or even CRV springs on that thing to get it rolling to sell. Did you have a hell of a time compressing the springs when you did the shocks?

 

Not really.
But i did throw a cheap coilover sleve on it and got it about an inch and a half lower than the driver side and it still pokes out at the top. Got a new upper control arm ill be throwing on to see if that helps.

 

Welp I finally figured it out. Found a cheap OEM knuckle and threw it on there. Camber issue is gone. Wheel is straight up and down. I'm guessing the one on the car was bent in some way.
Just wanted to update this incase anyone has a similar issue in the future.

 

Thanks for reporting back with your solution. Case closed!
