quote: make sure u do it before u take it off as it might be just a top mount mate, its important , it could be easy fix, u dont need to take apart everything as it could be nightnare lool :D:D also check lower arms and tie bars mate , if one of them is a little bit forward it could be not central both sides ??? so just make sure u checked me all .. anyway good luck mate @:P but think logic , its not many things that can do wrong camber, tie bars, shocks, top mounts, ball joints and lower arms ? :)) good luck mate :P | |

before u remove the shocks, have a look when u open the bonnet if the circle (rubber one) stays on the middle of the car body circle where the strut r bolted with the nuts | |

quote: Thanks for the reply & yes, front offside. I know its not a full axle but meant the part that the hub/disc bolts to. I am going to remove the shocks & check to see if they are bent but on first inspection, all bolts are non adjustable & were all tight/present. The strut tops also look standard but will have another look when shock has been removed. If all is as it should be then im guessing the front of the car is twisted somehow :lol: | |

quote: Stub axle is where the bearing fits over, 'stub' as in short or stubby, because it's not a 'full length' axle like you'd get on the back of a RWD car for example. Have never heard of a stub being bent, that would take some doing. Is the strut body itself bent? In fact have you checked the struts where they bolt on the the hub? Are they standard or are have they been messed with? If like I mentioned above someone has filed out the hole to alter the camber then it could have slipped and be giving too much. Also someone may have used the eibach camber adjusters which go in your top mounting. The only way you're going to solve this is take the strut off, just a 10 minute job. | |

also adjusment is made where the shock meet the hub on top bolt, not where the lower arm meets the hub ;) | |

If it's just the one side then it can't be purely because it's lowered, it would be both sides in that case. | |

Yellow shocks will be something like an Apex kit. Could be top mounts, camber is out on my lowered corsa on both front wheels. | |

If your camber is out on standard struts with no camber adjustment then your top mount is probably screwed. Yes you can adjust camber on the lower mounting but only after you have filed out the top hole (elongate it dont make it bigger). IIRC eibach do some camber adjusting bolts of some kind. | |
