Ok fitted the camber arms from my s14 to the s15

note

No bent arms !
No bent shocks !
sub frame all inline


Now for the annoying bit!

The left wheel looks like its .5" cambered in more than the driver side and its wrecking my chops!

My thinking when the car got a tip on the left rear the inner quarter panel may have been pushed back out too much leaving the over fender out of shape and giving the illusion of negative camber..

any help appreciated or anybody who has any history of when the car was quick fixed after this crash

dude my s13 had the same problem, one side looked more cambered than the other, i put it down to the overfenders making it look that way best thing to do is get it set up properly, then you will know for sure!

Ive often put hours into setting up cars & when finished looked at them & put them back up again because i doubted the results.

It can become head wrecking. If the setup is reading correct Id not worry too much about looks because we all know most cars have had some battle scars in the past.

yea thats the vid above ah sure that would be a good reason why sounds a bit of a thick effort but sure there was plenty of money back then top do such an act!..Il sort it out after mondello porta power and a bit of advice from Gem should do the trick..
