I just noticed today, that my right rear tire is cambered in, the bottom is in far, and the top sticks out.

What causes this?

Will a "Tires Plus" alignment fix this problem?

Also, how severe is this?

 

Hit anything lately? Potholes, curbs, anything? If you haven't gotten your car aligned lately its time to do so.

Take your car to a reputable alignment shop and they should be able to fix/diagnose your problem.

 

Cool, I'm going to Tires Plus tomorrow.

I just got this car last week, so it seems to have a ruff past, it's been to 4 different states already.

So, we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Thanks for the info.

 

Ok, I got a problem.

I took it to get aligned, and the right tire camber couldn't be adjusted.

The tabs that hold the adjustment wheel where all flattened out..

Anyone experience this before, I don't know what to do.

 

Just to be clear, these are the tabs I'm talking about:

 

You can just bend them back but it's probably a good idea to tack weld it to make sure it doesn't bend again since the metal is a little fatigued now.

The bad news is that the car has something or has been hit pretty hard. You'll need to check for bent suspension arms and tie rods. There is a very good possibility that something else is bent.........

Do you know where I can go to get someone to do it? I don't have the tools to do that at my house.

I checked everything else, it all looks straight. It actually looks like stuff was replaced, with junkyard parts.

 

I responded to a similar problem on another thread. You can fix it yourself, but just be careful not to overstress the tabs since the subframe is made of soft metal and prone to damage. If you want, you can preheat the tab with a torch so that it bends easier, but be careful not to melt the bushing behind it.

Tires plus tried bending the tabs back "The best they could"

And still couldn't fix the camber angle..

Not sure what to do here.

 

I know you spot checked the suspension parts, but it will be difficult to see with a naked eye, so take it in to a shop if the damage is not visibly apparent.

Also, replace the junkyard parts with OEM.
