B579AA6E-2818-45B7-BC5D-479031080089Hello. Need some help from someone who has done a camber rear adjustment. Have had out left side rear to change wheel bearing and get a strange camber in +? I think. The upper part (red arrow) is 5-6mm further out so that the wheel angle becomes such \ compared to the right side what on earth have I tampered with ?? Anyone have a picture or can explain how this is adjusted back? Finds a bit about this in English but struggles to understanding it😅

I have just worked with this quite a bit. If you have too much positive camber, check to see if the shims between the Arm and frame have been removed. It's easy to add them back. Better too much positive as opposed to too much negative. You need a good tool to measure camber to get it accurate.

Make sure your tires are properly inflated, and you have about 1/2 tank of gas. You'll also need to roll the car around, and let it settle after you've lowered it back on the ground before you take a measurement.

See parts "30"

It is very difficult to diagnose from afar, but I assume it was okay prior to rebuild? Did you remove the upright from the upper ball joint and the lower shaft or remove the a-arms as well? Did you remove both sides and rebuild or only one?

It may be the angle of the photo or an optical illusion but the axle flange looks to be at a slightly different angle than the axle and assembly?

By the way if this is the rear left side and we are looking forward that vented rotor is for a right side.
