Rear wheel at a weird angle.....please help.

[drewstealth94]

Well my friend just bought a 92 Talon TSI and we noticed after he bought it that the drivers side rear wheel is angled weird. The top goes in quite a bit. It is slanted. I'm not sure what is causing this. The car drives very smooth and the wheel doesn't wobble at all. Nothing below looks broken. Can it be the camber that is off by a lot? Isn't the rear camber not adjustable? Any help on this would be really appreciated. Thanks.

the rear wheels will have negative camber if the car is lowered from what i have understood. has the car been lowered?

inspect that spring. a broken or bent spring would lower the car and create negative camber. Hows the tread on that tire? When jacked up is there any play side to side or up and down?

like they said above it is most likely just negative camber. It's pretty normal with lowered cars and can be fixed with a camber kit.

with most springs it shouldn't be to bad but in extreme cases (2"+ drops) you will get premature inner tire wear and a loose back end in slick road conditions due to the reduction of tire to ground contact patch.

mine is stock height and has camber problems. Although the rear is sagging on its old springs and shocks
