    Camber out of control!!

    My issue is complicated. My rear driver wheel is perfect, but the rear right (pass side) wheel must have like 4-6degrees of negative camber!!! it looks like a back-to-the future car before it takes off.

    I have Kmac adjustable bushings and maybe i'm not reading these charts right but i've set the outside bushing to -90* and the inner is between +60/+90* as per the two charts of Kmac adjustment (see bottom of post)... basically the outer is pointing down and the inner pointing up.

    My question is what am i doing wrong or what could be dammaged/bent?(don't say take it to an alignment place just yet) that comes once i've found the problem.....and i don't want to hit a curb willingly to fix this (bent it into place ;))

    Need your help. TY




    just so we're on the same page 'cause i'm starting to doubt myself since i just don't see dammage bending the arms outwards you know...outer = by the wheel. inner = by the differential right?
    No more e30s for me.

      hehe that is a terrible answer. where, what is bent? i would expect any dammage to cause positive camber, not negative. you know what i mean?

      i'm considering drifting the e30 into a curb and straightening this out if i can't come up with a reasonable explanation. please help me.

        inspect the trailing arm, see if it and/or the subframe is bent. If it's out of spec either the bushings are nonexistant or it is bent.

        If you want adjustment, those eccentric bushings suck, I have them and they move within about 5seconds after you set them and drive around the block. Just do this, it's cheaper than eccentric bushings and just as easy to install plus they won't move around on you!

          i suggested this because i have the exact same situation on my shit beater. theres a dent on the arm that goes to the inside mount point. i cant explain its reason for having that direction of camber, but its there. i replaced the subframe and that did not correct the issue.
