try and drive it with positive camber then.........it'll be a laugh to say the least:lol:

you shouldnt have that with 15's. what sus setup are you using, springs shocks, coilovers etc

thanku all very much for your advice!!i love coming home to find lots of answers to my question! (yeah,i know, i'm sad). its only got 15"'s on,and seems to be the same camber on both sides so i'm ruling out bent axle (wishful thinking lol).i'll have a look for those shims.thanks again peeps!!

As above. have a look on ebay for some EZ shims. You can adjust the toe and camber with these. I still need to fit mine but dont really know what settings i should use

I alter camber on rear of the rally car by loosening stub axle and put shims between stub and rear beam.
p.s can also adjust tracking using same method

also if you have 18's it tends to be worse

bent rear beam or incorrect tyre pressure would be my best guess as whats wrong.

no because its a fixed beam. i had the same problem, was considering making some kind of tapered spaces behind the hubs (discs on mine) but never got round to it and have since scraped the car

my camber seems to be making the inside of my rear tyres wear out,i'm going to be getting the tracking done but was wondering whether anything can be done to adjust this?any help appreciated!!
