my drivers side rear wheel looks like it has a serious camber issue but ive taken it to atleast 2 different shops and they both "do the alignment" and give me the car back but you can see the wheel is still the same...what could be causing this? neither of the places told me any parts of my suspension were bad. the paper they printed out has all the wheels as green so idk why it still looks so angled

 

U have any pics of how bad it looks?

Sometimes the curves of the car will give the illusion that the tire isnt straight.


Where in Hollywood are u btw? I grew up there but Im in the valley now.

 

ill take better picutres today when its brighter outside. ive owned a few other g's before and i just dont remember the wheels being so canted. im like in east hollywood/koreatown area, like walking distance from vermont and beverly and i grew up in the valley lol

 

Holy crap that does look like something is bent down there. The wheel doesnt wobble when u drive, does it?


And I grew up in East Hollywood too…by Sunset and Harvard/Kingsley. My parents and sister still live there. Its a small world!! 🙂

 

right? im just having a hard time trying to figure out what i need to replace to fix it. and ive taken it 2 places to get an alignment and BOTH places just do the alignment and give me the car back like nothings wrong. what part of the valley are you in? my mom still lives in noho lol

 

oh and no i dont think it wobbles... but it might... i know one of the side flanges for the differential came out and i had to hit it back in with a rubber mallet

 

Im in North Hills now. By Devonshire and Hayvenhurst.



How long has your wheel looked crooked like that for? Is the inner corner of the tire wearing unevenly. Have u taken off the wheel and looked in there to see what looks bent? And when u took ur car for an alignment did u ask the mechanic to inspect for anything that could be bent?

 

im not really sure how long its been like that tbh.. yes the inner side of the tire was wearing out. and i dropped the whole rear suspension member lol i didnt think anything looked bent but i guess i was wrong?

 

no i didnt specifically ask the dude to check for any bent parts. i guess i kind of just assumed since the receipt says "inspect alignment" on it that they actually did that.

 

Take a couple pictures from under the car at various angles of the suspension. Something is probably bent or broken or a bushing is completely gone. It should be pretty easy to find what's messed up with the alignment out that badly.

 

ok i will, should the car be on the ground for the pictures? i feel like it would need to be... and yea thats what i thought but then the allignment place just did the alignment and gave it back like nothing was wrong..

 

Raise the car up and take the wheel off to get some clear pictures. If nothing looks obviously bent or damaged, then u might have to put something under the rotor and lower the car a bit to get the suspension into its compressed position. Keep the lug nuts on so it holds the rotor in place.

And be careful…dont drop the car.
