    Rear stance & tire wear

    Could someone please shed some light on how I might correct the way in which the rear end of my cabrio sits?

    It currently sits slightly like this: //----\\

    I've been getting some rubbing going around corners from the right rear tire and always wondered how to fix this problem.

    Thanks!

      replace your rear subframe bushings and rear trailing arm bushings and it will generally sort it out.
      although it might also be down to your car being lowered, if it is lowered.

        It is normal to have some negative camber in the rear, especially if the car is lowered.

        You may have a bent trailing arm or subframe if only one side is rubbing, unless the car has had poor body work done on one of the rear quarters.

        Get the rear alignment checked out, and if it is out of spec, you may be able to correct it by using eccentric trailing arm bushings or a weld-on eccentric kit. I would recommend the weld on kit.

          e30this- thanks for the link. I think I'll be doing this once I get the car completely sorted and before its next set of wheels/tires. For what its worth my cabrio is slightly lowered on M3 springs, so its not a huge drop at all...thanks for the assistance!
