So I just noticed the other day that the camber on my P/R is a bit more than the driver's side. I am dropped on Espelir's w/ stock struts. I've had it on the car for about 15 -20k miles. I've had it aligned atleast twice before this. So the guy that did myy alignment took a look at it, and he did measure it and said its off a bit but my camber is almost maxed out. He suggested maybe the spring shifted on the shock, so I took a look and it sits pretty dead on. The only thing is that the rubber piece under the spring is sticking out a bit. The driveability of the car is not impacted. He also said all the suspension components (bushings) and such are fine. What else could it be?

What were the alignment readings you got?

Sounds like the springs aren't set on the perch correctly.

I have it set to the OEM alignment for now.

I looked at the spring and it looks like it is sitting properly on the perch. I loosened the center nut on the shock while the car was jacked up to see if I could shift it a bit but the only thing I noticed was that the rubber piece the sits at the bottom perch under the spring was not in place. Could that cause it to not sit even?

Also, the car drives 100% straight. It has never spum out, hit a curb or anything of that nature that could cause this.

I was thinking about renting a spring compressor and trying to see if I could get that rubber piece to sit correctly to resolve the issue.

i have heard of alot of S owners having this same problem, camber on the passenger side is always more than the driver

JEEBS

Really? Could you point me in the right direction as far as a thread that covers this. I am curious as to what others haveto say about this. Is it for lowered cars or just in general?

JEEBS

So after looking at it again, the drivers side sits perfectly on the driver's side perch and the passenger's side (the one in question) has that rubber piece what looks to be pulled out. Would that small difference really cause the spring not to sit 100% correctly and mess w/ the camber settings?

i only noticed it after i put my coilovers on, let me see if i can locate a thread for you

I have a similar issue: The LR has negative 1* the RR is at negative 3* but the shop could not find anything bent? The -3* on the RR is at the maximum adjustment.

Any one have any thoughts on this?
