First, if I posted this in the wrong section, I apologize.

I first noticed that the rear driver wheel was a lot more cambered negatively than the other wheels. Lately though, when I take a hard corner, I hear a strange grinding/ creaking sound coming from what I think is that corner. I've been told it could be my wheel barring giving out. Can anybody shed some more light into this?

Go out to the garage and grab the wheel. Can you pull the top in and out? If so, likely wheel bearing.

Also give stats on your car. Mileage? Track days? Accidents? Etc.

I'll try grabbing the wheel thing you described.

My car has close to 80k miles on it. No track days, I usually take it pretty easy unless I'm doing some "fun" driving. I had a side impact accident a few years ago but that was to the other side of the car.

Basic question: Did you check your lugnuts?

S2k007

Yeah, lugnuts are tightened. I tried pulling on the wheel like you said but its solid.

Make sure the e-brake is off when you try and move the wheel.

The next step is to jack the rear driver's side up and try wiggling the wheel again.

We've had (aftermarket) hubs that were completely broken, but due to the weight of the car you could barely feel the play without jacking up the rear.

^ I'll try that tomorrow, thanks for your help Ckit.

Need some input here guys.

So I took my car in for an inspection and alignment. The guy said that there was no damage to my wheel baring, hubs, control arms, or anything else he could see so he just recommended an alignment. He started the alignment but could not get wheel to come in more than -2.7 deg camber. If he pulled it in any further it would push the toe outward (toe out). There's something wrong, but he doesn't know what. Any ideas?
