Is it Typical for these cars to have uneven camber on the rear?
I just finished replacing the Rear Knuckle Carrier bushings which had decent amount of play in them and was hoping that it was going to correct my Left Rear Camber issue. I havent had the car on the machine in a while but i can visually tell that the r/rear has about 1-1.5 degrees more of negative camber. The Camber bolts are maxed out to positive setting on both sides and its still uneven. I have done many close inspections of underside of the rear suspension and i do not see anything bent. The lower rear control arm looks to be very straight. I also have been paying attention to other gs on the road and noticed that most from what i can see stock cars have more negative camber on the left rear also. I have a friends 00 GS400 in my shop now(stock car) and he had a 4 wheel alignment done last year and i can see that the left rear camber bolt is adjusted all the way to positive setting and right rear is beraly turned to positive side. My car is lowered on Tein CS. I know i can leave the left rear where it is and match the right rear to the left but i would like to know that this is normal before i do this, or do i have a problem
Typically. Reason why is when you lower the car, the right side is gonna be lower than the left
I dont think that height is the reason though, i see this on stock cars as well. Also remember my car is lowered on coils and is very even. Also its the left side(driver side) if the right was lower it would have more negative camber.
I dont know about urs but my right rear has more negative camber because it needs to be lower than the left to be even height if you know what im talking about
I have the same problem on my lowered 2000 GS4. I was told I need to change the rear knuckle bushings, and rear toe arms. I will update when I get these parts changed. Same issue I got like 3 aligments done in like 3 months and everytime it was out of wack and destroying my tires.
i also thought this, toe arms arent going to fix your camber i just changed the spindle carrier bushings and it looks like it got a little better.
