Hello,


I'm having an issue with my rear driver side suspension..

- cannot get negative camber according to the alignment guy. The passenger side can get to -2.5 (or somewhere around there)
- has suspension parts from ap2. Ap2 spindle installed. Looks like an AP2 lower arm, it is different from the passenger side. Looks like an AP2 toe rod.
- the wheel is pretty solid and cannot be shaken, when I have the car jacked up.
- took the wheel off and re torqued upper ball joint and lower ball joint according to https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/index.php...f=250&t=762946 .
- I did not re torque the toe rod, yet.
- took measurements of the knuckle from upper and lower ball joints on both side. They are pretty close as far as I can tell.
- took measurements of the upper arms, they look okay.

I did notice that it SEEMED that I got some more camber from re torquing the ball joints. Of course I cannot be sure without an proper alignment.

When I look at this wheel from the side, it looks really odd.. I'm assuming it is due to the near positive camber.



How can i check if the subframe has shifted or bent? It looked like the mounting points have not moved, they dont look much different from side to the other side. There are obvious dents or such, unless I am looking in the wrong areas.


Car was purchased a few months ago, 01 100k miles.


Please help.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated .

 

When I had trouble getting enough camber it looked like the knuckle was bent. Replaced the knuckle and it improved. I knew that this car had been in an accident before I bought it.

 

Yes same. I got my car at near half the kbb price non salvage.
