Rear camber

I noticed a couple days ago that the rear camber seems excessive, to the naked eye. It's similar on both sides (not been measured by a tire centre yet).

Does this look off to you guys?

On the face of that picture it does look out (by a long way) but pictures can be deceiving.

Easy way to tell is the tyre wear... Based on the image I would suggest the inner edge would be quite warn and the outer hardly at all.

Best run it down to somewhere for an alignment check Ash

That looks wrong.did you hit a rut or something recently to knock the alignment out.Either that or your upper hub bushes/camber bolts are on their way out...garage time again

loks like you are parked sideways on a slope..it could be low pressure in the tyre which with its high sidewall gives you that appearance.. ... - .- -.

I had mine 4 wheel tracked at Kwik fit which was pretty extensive and the tracking and camber can all be adjusted provided your bolts are not seized solid inside the bushes on the inner track control arm or outer hub. A common fault is the upper and lower hub bushes that I changed on mine along with the track control arm and all relevant adjusters and bolts.
As already mentioned , tyre wear would tell you but Kwik fit would check and if they can't adjust they wouldn't charge you
Ok so just realised the OP is in East Aftica, probably not going to a Kwik fit out there, check your tyres

Just a thought ..

In the photo - is the car in access height (i cant tell from the photo)- The suspension's pivot point makes the wheel move in an arc - the higher the wheel (or lower the body)the more the wheel's camber will change to negative. Having said that it does look odd in the photo.

Regards

Simon

No, it's at normal height with the engine running.

It's on level ground, the camera is crooked. It's not often on level ground or tarmac which is why I never noticed before...

Changing all bushes in a couple of weeks will hopefully sort it. It's squeaking at the back as well so bushes are most prob worn... 2004 L322 V8

Comparing it to the front wheel I'd say it's got quite a lot of camber on it. Ed

I wonder if it's exaggerated by the 32" tires.

I parked next to a ffrr with 255/55r19 tires yesterday and they looked like toy tires...

looking again at the image it looks like the wheels themselves may be quite straight but the bulge at the bottom of the tire makes it look like it's leaning more than it is? 2004 L322 V8
