Thought a bent lower control arm was somewhat common. I had one on my car, and it's often a symptom of someone tying the car down by them, and they are pretty soft. A bad rear trailing arm would be uncommon.

Either way, if it's the lower control arm a quick inspection to see if it's 'straight' will tell you. Also, a lot of positive camber would be another indication as it connects to the bottom of the hub and if it bends would pull the bottom of the tire inward. This is info for the 330, and I assume the setup in the rear on the m is similar

Cool sounds like they're good then. Ordered my bushings already. Went with Meyle HD and Turner shims.


Hopefully this camber plate situation is fixed soon and is a permanent one for the alignment issues. I'd really love to move on from all of this.

Car still at Firestone. Camber plates still need to be flipped.

Did they install them backwards?

From a GS3, this was sent.

[UdubBadger]

Shop in Ohio removed struts to tighten them and installed them 60 degrees counter clockwise off from where they should've been.


Fixed that but it still feels like it might be off a little.

Mechanic is out of town this week so I'm gonna see what happens and might replace a tie rod if its still bad. The next step after that would be ditch the front 18x9 rims and 255s and go back to 18x8 and 225 fronts.

anything new?

[UdubBadger]

Waiting on replacing RTABs, tie rods and rotors. Been super hot out so haven't gotten to rotors. Gonna send it somewhere for the RTABs and rods.

Have a little surprise in store this weekend too.

Oh, that's a surprise? Oops.
