Different Camber On Front Wheels

[GTR81]

Ok guys i remember a while ago i read on the 31 skyline forum about the front wheels having different front camber and 1 wheel sat out a little further than the other side on a 31 skyline, which my 31 coupe has the same thing.

Just put it down to being an old car and no idea what could have happened to it over its 25 odd year life.

Now the thing is i just put new wheels on my wifes wrx on the weekend and now its very obvious that has more positive camber on the drivers side front wheel

even though it has standard suspension all round and she bought it brand new in 2009 so i know its never been in an accident at all, its done just over 100k

and everything seems fine. It has always worn out the inside of the front right tyre first so id say its been like this from new just never really noticed cause the

standard wheels tuck in so far i guess.

So the question is are manufacturers slack, is there a reason for this or am i missing something?

Are you talking about different amount of camber, or a different amount of tyre wear? I've never heard of different camber. Castor is usually a little different to compensate for the slope of the road so it tracks straight. Wheels shouldnt stick out any different left to right. What does the alignment sheet say?

[GTR81]

Yeah a different amount of camber, more positive camber on the drivers side. it hasn't had an alignment but its easy to see just looking at it and the spirit level says the same. I can't see that you can adjust the camber in any way.

[MrStabby]

Check for bent arms or worn out bushes. Sounds like to you have a significant problem.

So it turns out there is adjustment for camber on the top bolt that bolts to the bottom of the shock.

just need to open me eyes next time
