Here is an issue im having on a customer's car.

The car has negative camber on the driver's side, the passenger's side is straight as hell. So we just swapped subframes thinking something must have been bent, it solved *nothing*.

I put adjustable camber plates in, the camber plate for the driver's side wheel is maxxed out and still has some mnegative camber (almost none tho) and the passenger side wheel is hunky-dory.

Any ideas? Im thinking it must be in the shock towers but i cant see and stress marks, or any cracks, and the OEM ITR strut brace fits perfectly...

 

bent control arm or hub/knuckle?

 

changed it all out

 

then the tub is bent if all the suspension parts are straight.

 

ever pull the tub out?

chain + tree trunk = straight(er) RX7 tub

 

thats what i was thinking... also a high lift jack mounted in compression may do the trick.

what did you mount the chain to on the rx7

I'd get a better idea of where it was bent before you started pulling on it - frame shop can check it out for $300 and probably pull it out for not much more.

 

its gotta be the shock tower, we just swapped out the entire subframe, lcas, knuckle and uppers. that pretty much only leaves one mounting point left

True.... frame shop should be able to tweak that back without much hassle

 

cool thanks

 

I'm not sure what they are called, but the part of the UCA mount that has the bushings pressed in and bolts to the tower will bend and cause this exact scenario. So if you have not replaced those try swapping them with the other side of the car and see if your camber problem moves with them. If that's not it, off to the frame shop you go...

 

I'm sorry ti ask but CAMBER PLATES?? do you mean camber plates or the camber arms?? just want food for thought!!
