so as the title says im wondering if the rear camber on my 91 talon is causing some of my rear diff problems. here is what background info i have,

"slammed" on megan street coilovers
car has been 4 bolt swapped
first 4 bolt broke a couple teeth on the ring gear
installed secong 4 bolt diff
lsd unit went bad

now i bought this car while it had the second 4 bolt in it, i got the old diff with the car saying it needed new bearings and when i went to terar it down to do the bearings i found the broken teeth on the ring gear. id just like to know if the camber may be causing my problems. any insight would be greatly appreciated.
 
Extreme negative rear camber will usually only cause premature tire wear as well as an undesirable contact patch on the rear tires upon launch. Unfortunately with these cars being as old as they are, it's hard to find a truely good rear end without rebuilding it from the get-go. Good luck:thumb:
 
rear camber would not cause diff issues.

If you could drop the car enough cause a extreme angle to the cv shaft, you would destroy the cv joint.

The only way you could have issues in the diff is bad bearings allowing the gears to move and seperate.
 
haha thats actually what i have been doing is replacing all the broken parts. i just wanted to make sure before i drove it again after doing my turbo swap.
