suspension problems

[kalanishepherd]

so my back left wheel has something wrong with it. when i drive it feels like its bumping on that side in the back. i noticed that sometimes it has negative camber and sometimes its normal. it is a completely stock suspension on a 92 plymouth laser 1.8L. anybody know the problem?

The only thing that is coming to mind right now is a wheel bearing. But usually you can hear those when they start to go. I'm not sure about the suspension setup on the 1gs, as all I've ever has were 2g cars. But Make sure to check all the bushings and things back there. Had a bad control arm bushing on a 2g in the rear go bad, and it actually caused the car to handle differently.

Bad strut mounts will cause a clunking/thumping noise over bumps, too.

so if it were any of those things you said then how drivable do you think it is?

speaking for drivability, id try to figure out what the problem is before getting out on the road and potentially getting into an accident or worse. double checked your lug nuts were torqued to proper spec right?

Two possible issues are that the camber bolt in the upper control arm could be loose or like stated above, the bushing could be bad.

Number 30 in the first post of my build thread http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/1990-eagle-talon-sleeper.427853/ will show you the parts that I am talking about. For some reason the links are not working so I will have to figure out what is going on there but you can cope and paste the URL to your browser to get to the video.
