    Bent trailing arm or what?



    Well,I know this isnt indicative of my problem but it was
    the only snapshot one I could find fast...
    The car doesnt lean or anything,its just that since I changed
    the rear drum brakes for disk ones,the right rear wheel has
    slightly more camber.Its not annoying when driving apart from
    the fact that its slightly easier to break traction when
    turning right than left,but I think something is somewhat bent
    and needs replacing.Where should I start?
    A used right trailing arm will set me back 300$ and of course
    I wont be 100% certain it ll be straight before I install it. :(

    Did you install new bushings when you swapped the arms? Take it to an alignment shop and have them measure it? Used trailing arm is $300? wow! They are about $50-75 here.

      I ll measure it just to know the facts.You re right.
      As far as the price goes,I think its a joke,too.
      But I need 250$ for a used trailing arm and 50-60$ for a mechanic to install it.
      Damn robbery.
