due to an incident i had awhile back my drivers side rear wheel hasnt got as much negative camber as the passenger side. hit a curb after sliding side ways straight onto it. even playing with the adjustments we couldnt get it the same as the other side which provides good handling.

what could be bent that would cause this? its annoying cos going around left handed corners does not feel as safe as the right handers.

need to get this sorted as its annoying me when wanting to have a bit of a flick through the bends.

see pic below, you can sorta see what i mean.



see how the rear wheel looks wrong?

take her down to the local pedders .. $12 for a full suspension check & they'll let you know whats what

that is if they have pedders in Tassieland?

one of your link arms and/or their bushes or strut most likely to be bent

THIS.

What happened man?

Id jack the car up and take the wheel off then take some pics and we will be able to diagnose better for you mate

is it a easy to replace part?

i doubt youd be able to tell. itd be something slightly bent cos it puts the wheel of camber a few degrees.

was driving in the wet and the rear wheels slipped on the white line and spun out on me going into a concrete drain/ditch sort of thing was lucky nothing else happened. few months ago now.

Well id be betting what VIP said, link arm is the most likely and yes very easy to change. I am sure dstocks has one or two.

which one is the link arm sorry?
haha
and how do i do it exactly?

take a photo and i'll point to it, lol. im too lazy to do it myself

You will never determine why a wheel bent by asking on a forum. Even if you had a mechanic look at it, it still is a pain in the butt. Even if you do replace what they tell you to, there is no guarantee it will fix the issue.
