problem with rear beam/camber - Saxperience

Rookie · 11th September 2011, 21:52

well i had 3 people in the back of my car earlier and i could hear my tyres rubbing (lowered 60mm on 15's) so i dropped everyone off but the car is now still rubbing, had a quick look and the rear wheels look like they have some serious camber on them which is causing the inner sidewall to rub at the top of the arch. not sure whats happened so anyone else got an idea what it could be? recon rear beam so its not rotten or anything....

when you say recon do you mean professionaly done ie, replaced stub pins, all bearings/seals etc?
or just a bearing and seal kit from the internet and done yourself?

only thing i can suggest is the bearings failing tbh.

beam = knackered im afraid. chances are if it got that bad its to late to refurb

as bearing will have been eating away at where they sit

had the wheel off last week and looked at this, turns out the bolt that secured the ARB to the beam had sheared off. managed to drill out the bolt and replace it and its been fine since so im hoping because i noticed it straight away i didnt do any serious damage.
