T31 front end


Car has hit a gutter passenger side front and knocked alignment out. Had alignment done and they have fixed that but there is a lot of positive camber on this wheel still. They haven't done anything about it and haven't made any suggestions about what to do to fix it. Any suggestions on what the issue may be as haven't done any work on this car before so before j start paying more mechanics I'd like some back hound info first

Re: T31 front end


Without seeing the car, and the wheel alignment report, any of us can only give very general advice.
If you have "a lot of positive camber" then a distinct possibility is that you've bent the MacPherson strut. Exactly how much is "a lot of positive camber"?
If it's excessive, I'm rather surprised that the guys who did the wheel alignment didn't point this out to you. I mean, it would have been extra business for them if you got them to do the work.
If the alignment figures show that you do have excessive positive camber, steering and handling are both going to be poor.
I'd be taking the car back to the alignment guys for a thorough inspection and report.

Had the alignment done by Bob Jane and I'm less than happy to. Had it checked out fully today by pedders and they say it has a cent stub axle. Nearly 2000 for parts and fitted. Think I'll try and pick up a 2nd hand one from Brisbane somewhere hopefully and I'll drop the front end myself and fit it too.
