un-equal camber

[E30_(1st Musk)_]

I just noticed after being told by other people that

my driver side rear wheel has more camber than the passenger

any ideas why this could be? im on bilstein sports/hr race....

[mr.vang]

one side might be lower then the other

do you really think it could be this?

everything is equal on both sides. unless that shock is blown?

Structural damage from a previous accident?

hmm unlikely, the car has a clean title and no signs of structural damage

Bent trailing arm or worn out bushings is my guess.

okay i guess this is a good place to start, ill jack it up tomorrow and see if it is this.

any other ideas? or someone with similar problem?

Bent trailing arm would be odd if nothing ever happened.
Worn bushings most likely.

I agree with erik325i. A bent trailing arm or worn out rear trailing arm bushings are the likely cause.

It doesn't take much of a curb strike to bend a trailing arm. The only damage from that may the trailing arm and perhaps the wheel. If the wheel was changed there'd be no evidence other than the bent trailing arm.

It would be a safe bet to say that the car needs new subframe, trailing arm, and differential bushings. Start there if there is nothing obviously wrong with the trailing arm.
