CossieShaun

Got a 2wd sapphire cossie, the passenger side rear wheel toes out alot and the wheel looks further back in the arch than the other side plus the tyre is scrubbing off, i have had the car on a ramp and can't see any obvious bends or kinks in the arms or rear beam, there is no play in the wheel either. Any ideas what it might be before i have to change the arm and beam just in case? Cheers in advance

Welcome to the forum

Sounds like the trailing arm/beam has been bent due to a side on hit. Having it checked on a Laser Tracking Machine at your local tyre specialist would give you some readings to go by, but if you can visibly see theres a problem its more than likely fucked

As above really, if you can see theres something wrong then something is damaged!

My cabriolet had a similar problem on the front drivers side wheel, it was too far forward. Couldnt see anything when it was on a ramp, but new TCA's and a roll bar and it's all good now, its probably been ramped over a curb at some point in its life and bent the wishbone.

Get it on an alignment machine

Cheers Chaps , Will get it checked but sounds like a rear arm and beam could be the order of the day
