Bent Stub Axles?

[firstcar_205gti 2 1 Cars]

hi all just bought my second 205 and noticed it has alot more rear camber than my other one, it also has more camber on one side than the other i think by looking at it. i heard it could be bent stub axles, or can you ajust the camber i have no idea ??

More likely that the trailing arm shaft and bearings are knackered, and potentially the whole beam tube. This will give negative camber (ie top of the wheel leaning inwards towards the car)

 

Very common on rear beams that haven't been rebuilt by now I'm afraid. Probably literally hundreds of topics on it if you do a search.

 

Bent stub axles, usually from sliding sideways into curbs, tend to give positive camber (ie top of the wheel leaning outwards)

oh thanks, i'll put that on the long list of things to do to it.
