curbs cause positive camber

[TimoTsi]

I recently bumped a curb that was covered in snow and now the passenger-front wheel on my 94 Tsi has a slightly positive camber angle to it. It's not really bad but you can tell that its off when looking at it from the front or back of the car. I had the wheel off today, and i can't see any parts that are bent or broken. I was going to try some of those ez-cam bolts to try and correct the camber problem. Anyone had any experience with these? Any better ideas? Thanks.

It would be better to replace broken parts. I'm guessing either a bent strut or lower control arm. Don't just fix it with camber bolts. That will possibly cause more problems down the road.

Good luck. I know it sucks. I hit a curb at 70 mph in my old talon. Wasn't good stuff.

Thanks for the input. I had looked at it but couldn't find anything bent. Obviously something is wrong under there. I'll have to take another look. Thanks

you'd be suprised at how bad it can be. I'd get an alignment done, and find out what you need to replace then. I had a lower arm that was tweaked more than 1.75" towards the rear, but the only *visible* damage was some postive camber.

I got the car that way though. Once i got it fixed i did notice an extra mpg or so.
