hi guys about two months ago i hit one of our lovely pot holes and ended up with a negative camber.no damage to tyre or rim so took no notice until i noticed the tyre had worn on inside so got new tyres on front and tracked and it showed 2.7 negative camber.checked shock and there was a slight bend in it but only on the threaded part on top,changed it for with spare still the same,changed ball joint because small nip in it still the same.could it be the hub but i would have thought it would push it back rather than out any help would be greatfull thought i would add a pic

thanks cossie.087.

 

,,,,,,

 

Broken spring?

 

just fitted new springs.

 

have you worn out the new set of tyres again mate ,i couldnt see it being the hub to be honest

 

i thought that myself but something rightly fucked up so not using it much as she steers all over the road with the new rubber.hows the s1 doing james.

 

i would change the lot on that side if you have the spares mate .you may have bent the tie rod

s1 is going well mate ,done 70 miles in it last week and it was brill

 

is the car sitting dead level on the new springs??

is the rubber bush at the top of the shock that sit's in the inner wing in good condition

 

yes the car sits level damien and the top bushes are polyed and are fine.

 

but dosent the tie rod adjust the tow in and out and not camber.glad to hear the s1 is out and about, i should have bought your 4b.

 

just got this off a tyre site for you mate


CuppingCups or scalloped dips appearing around the edge of the tread on one side or the other, almost always indicate worn (sometimes bent) suspension parts. Adjustment of wheel alignment alone will seldom cure the problem. Any worn component that connects the wheel to the car (ball joint, wheel bearing, shock absorber, springs, bushings, etc.) can cause this condition. Worn components should be replaced with new ones. The worn tyre should be balanced and possibly moved to a different location on the car. Occasionally, wheels that are out of balance will wear like this, but wheel imbalance usually shows up as bald spots between the outside edges and center of the tread.

 

the saff is gone to a good home now mate ,already improvements are being carried out on it

 

fair play james thats pretty detailed.i'll change the hub and check out the bearing and see what happens if that dont solve it i think it will be time for a box of maquire and patterson.

 

Check the wheel centre to centre on each side front to rear, arbs bend as do tca, this is a lot more likely than the hub to bend.
tabetha

 

i have new tca and track rod ends fitted tabetha.i will keep swopping thinks around and see what happens.

 

pic added above.

 

not being funny mate but the inner wing hasn't give or bent or something if you want to go and measure from the dead center of the top of shock to shock i'll pop out to the shed and measure mine

 

i'am half afraid of that myself but the lines on the car seem ok i'll try an measure up tomorrow thanks cossie.087.

 

what condition is your inners any rust or anything

 

couldn't apply last net down but i had the car done about three years ago and had new wings put on and all looked fine but that was three years ago.
