I just did my wheel alignment a few days ago. Did 4 wheel balancing and alignment, adjusted the cambers at the rear but have to rush off coz not enuff time. Left the front caster and steering straightening.Went back the next day to fix whatever that was left. They put the wheel thingy on the wheel and the data shows the rear camber was really off! I told him its impossible. I didnt go far or ran into potholes. My mech also scratch his head. So did the whole thing again and nearly broke my tie-rods coz it was so damn tight.So any suggestions as of what caused the camber to just defect in such a short period of time? My mech say could be bushes. Man theres a lot of bushes down there with a lot of arms. I dont even know where to start! :blink: :blink:
 
aDrIan,i don't think the bushes gave way.. the five rear bushes are very good and life long.. prefer you just monitor for some time being and check within two weeks time..regards
 
I just checked my camber visually again. The rear left seems to run off again. It really bothers me as i corner to the left the car leans towards the right and traction on the left rear wheel is minimal. And its really hard to control the roll. Cornering otherwise seems to have more grip. :unsure:
 
Camber does not control roll at all.Negative camber DOES increase cornering grip - so yes, you got that right.
