Front lower control arm bushing failure
#22
Took a look under my car and both LCAs look symmetrical to each other, with neither bushing non-centered or showing any other signs of damage. Hmm... any idea what else could be causing my toe to drift out so quickly?
A-arm brackets look fine, too. I only run street tyres with some Ferodo brake pads.

I just had to replace the driver's side LCA due to this bushing rubber problem. The rubber was badly torn on the inside rear, top and bottom. A smaller crack was starting on the upper front which was visible when the wheel was off. In my case, it was 40,000 miles, 4 years and many autocrosses.

Wow great writeup, I was wondering if it was normal for my passenger side to get -1.3 camber and 6+ caster but my drivers side to only get max 5.5 caster with the camber at -1.3.
The bushing looked good at a quick glance but I may pull off the LCA and take a closer look. I know the more - camber you add the less adjustability in caster you have but I didn't understand why it was only happening on one side.
