The alignment on my rear looks like this:
Rear: Left
-4.0o
-3/16"
Rear: Right
-1.8o
-9/16"
That is a pretty big difference and something I noticed before. The driver side rear wheel always was more tucked then the passenger side rear wheel. When I was running 17x7 Voxx rims on 225/45/17, the driver side would not rub but the passenger side would.
I thought one of my E30 stock rear trailing arms were bent. I figured by switching to M roadster rear arms for my 5 lug swap, the problem would be gone.
Obviously not. Look at this tire wear:

right:

The only thing I can think of is my subframe must be bent. It has no visible bends, but I figure it must be bent downwards near the left side.
EX:

What the hell could have caused this?
The only thing I can think of:
I once acclerated too fast making a right hand turn from a stop in the rain and the rear swung around. The driver side rear tire smacked the curb. The entire car landed on the sidewalk. The end result was a cracked driver side rear basketweave.
However, you would think the bottom of the rim hitting the curb would have bent the subframe UP not down.
Is it possible to measure the subframe on the car to make sure that is the problem?
Any cheap fixes, or am I going to have to pull or pay someone to pull the entire rear fucking subframe?
