Excessive positive camber

Post by rapide » Wed Oct 22, 2008 8:02 pm

I recently bought a 93 L series.The car is clean & straight, but left front wheel has way too much positive camber. Strut etc look OK so what should I replace first? Any advice much appreciated.

Make sure the height is the same left and right .
Get under it and make sure the control arms are not bent or the inner bush collapsed .
Look closely at the cross member control arm mounting point to see if it has been pushed inwards in a previous accident .
