Rear wheel 'leaning' inward about 5degrees...causes?

[Eviltwin]

Just noticed this on my car...my passanger rear wheel seems to be "leaning" inward about 5-10 degreed from the top.
almost looks like I'm running a camber issue on one wheel.
I'm running stock springs right now.

now bearing noises, or anything.

Thoughts?

just an alignment needed? could be something major?

Subframe cracked? Mine was like that.

No factory rear adjustments possible. Start looking for worn/broken/missing parts...

[Eviltwin]

I'm hopeing it's worn as f*ck springs/shocks...as I'm tossing in bilsteins/voglands soon.

[nando]

worn out TABs, subframe bushings, and/or a bent subframe/trailing arm can all cause that.

[Eviltwin]

would trailarm bushings be a "while i'm there allready" kind of job while i'm putting in new shocks/springs?

they are pita, and if you are going to do them might as well do the other side and/or subframe bushings at the same time.

Some negative camber, ok. But 5-10*? Sure sounds like something's broken.

Yeah, sure, that'll fix it.

Uh, you're not driving it like this, are you?

more broken than a bent trailing arm/subframe and cracked bushings? that could easily cause a large difference in camber.

[Eviltwin]

alright, so it seems I may of overestimated the "10 degree" value.

I'd say it's leaning ever so slightly towards the left...

I took a pic, you can barely make out the lean...

either way, I"m going with TAB cracked bushing along subframe as prev. mentioned.

[Eviltwin]

fixorzed.

ended up being my oem stock springs that were beyond dead, causing the car to lean, and causing slight camber.

bushings, were allready replaced by P.O.

replaced with H&R's.

now you can all rest, without worrying about this :pimp:

I have a similar problem. My car is lowered and has the Turner Motorsports J-stock suspension kit installed by a previous owner. Both rear wheels have about 4-5 degrees of negative camber and so far the consensus is that the subframe bushings are shot. Do springs actually wear out to the point that they'll cause this much camber?

if yer stupid low and dont have a rear camber correction kit, yer looking at -3+ camber on the rear.

I dunno what my camber is in the rear but with race springs and no pads in my cabby it's probably pretty close to that :P

Trailing arm bushings, perhaps...but subframe bushings, no way.
