    Camber Problem

    I know this isn't the right spot for this thread, but for some reason I can't post in the suspension section. Here is my problem. I have an 87 325e on stock suspension. My rear driver side tire has very bad camber wear. I put new tires on it in march, and it's already bad again. I changed all the wheel bearings on my car and it still has camber. Any suggestions on what could be causing this?

    Something is bent, either trailing arm, subframe, or possibly the car itself. Get out a measuring tape and start comparing measurements from side to side, choose a static point to measure from to ensure good data. Look for signs of prior accident repair. I can email you the chassis measurement sheets if you like. See example below..

                could also be badly worn rubber bushings (trailing arm, subframe, diff)

                the subframe and trailing arm are also prone to bending.

                      Sent. Maybe someone can host these so they will be available to everyone.

                          I have sent them to a member who is going to host them so everyone has access. I would just like to point out that I did not scan these in or obtain the actual sheets myself, I merely found them on the Internet and saved the jpegs. So thanks to whoever did the initial scans, these are great to have.

                            did these get hosted? Mr 'thinks he's building a race car' thinks they could be very
