no i mean stub axle. i thought it was beam but it is more likely to be bent stub axle so i am trying the first.

I see now :wink:

Ok st had the rear of the car apart and had a good look. Can't get the hub off as its a 12 point 30mm socket bit and I only have a 6 point. I have fitted the bottom part of the Coilover wich was not fitted so it sits abit higher now so no rubbing. There is still a diferance in camber on the rear wheels.
Will have to put it into a garage and have them have a look as I give up. Doing my head in.
-
Any play in the wheel bearing :smiley:
-
Nope. Now coilys are fitted propply on the rear there is still a 10mm diferance in camber between wheel rim and wheel arch. Is that something to worry about or am I just being obsessive?
-
think i have just solved the case of diferant rear wheels. look at this thread
