rear drivers side tyre has alot more camber then passenger side?
 
Hey guys i was wondering if anyone has this same issue with there 99-00 wrx?

my car has pedders xtreme coilovers and is sitting sort of low but not stupid low. it rides perfect and all but have noticed that the rear drivers side tyre has a shit load more camber then passengers side! basically i cant fit 1 finger between tyre wall and guard on passenger side but on right side i can get nearly 2 1/2 fingers.

Do i need a camber kit or is it possible previous owner has maybe done something wrong.

cheers
Mike

How long since your last wheel alignment?

They do change over time with bumps, gutters, sideways action, general driving.

Get it re ligned and problem solvered.

No worries.

With the differance you are saying, it could have some possible damage. Perhaps from a crash or bingle. does any of the rims have nasty gutter rash?

Have you checked the spring rate on each side?

Try pushing down on each side and see if they bounce back the same.

You need a proper suspension assessment and alignment. Don't stuff around...book it into Wheels World.

Components may be bent/damaged, misaligned or mismatched. In any case the sort of difference you are talking about will drastically affect the cars behaviour, which isn't good at the best of times, but coming into winter makes it even more of a risk.
