Rear Wheel Camber

[Righttoe]

Hi guys, I've noticed recently that my passenger side rear wheel has alot of negative camber, so from behind it looks like this -

/---|

Drivers side loooks fine but passengers is sqwif! Also, had tires changed recently and the passenger side had worn away the inside massivly!

Car is on coilovers and both sides are the same height, could it be worn bushes? or sumthing like that? anything i can check?

did you fit ther coilovers? if so did you get it 4 wheel alined if it has not been done then this why the passager side is on the piss had the same problem with mine but i took it to one of my tennents for service, cambelt,waterpump and when i looked at my car today both the rear wheels look to be at the same camber angle .

Yea I fitted the coilovers and had camber set up on front, didnt do rear as its fixed and the only way to change it is with camber shims! And because its only one side i was told to investigate the problem first as somethings proberly bent or worn

As said. Rear caber won't be due to poor alignment becasue rear camber is non adjustable on MK3 Ibizas.

Have you suffered a knock to that wheel at any point.... it get the back end up and inspect the beam and bushes and also the rear stub axel

Not that i know of, well not in the time ive owned the car, i had wheel off just now, and did a little looking, but not sure what to be looking for? How would i tell if there was damage to rear beam or stub axel?

I can see the mount for the rear beam but cannot see the bush without taking it apart? It has a bolt through it, is it just a case of removing the bolt and dropping the rear beam slightly to inspect the bush? or is there antiroll bars and **** to take into account?

Any help greatfully reciveved - artemis_1991 thanks for clearing up the alignment for me as i wasnt totally sure

get it on axel stands if possible, take both wheels off and compare the cambered side to the good side. look for any diferences where the hub mounts the beam and where the trailing arm jouns the main body of the beam

If in doubt post some pictures up!
