you can see from the pics how the top of the wheels are "in" and the bottoms are "out"
does this look like the bushing issue?. If so, what are the parts called that i need to order?. If not, what else could be causing this?.
I am likely to cause damage to anything by driving like this until i fix it?.
I get my plates in the morning so i'll actually be able to drive it!!!. Can't wait!

 

You'll wear your tires a little quicker on the inside by riding like that. Mine looked like that and I drove it around like for about half the year until I finally got it fixed last month. Replacing the rear front lower control arms did it for me.

I did notice the car was more eager to turn into corners driving with the negative camber. But that's about it - handling was otherwise terrible on uneven roads.

 

thanks AML, the tires are shot so i'll replace them after i get the control arms fixed. It also rides pretty rough on a regular road, i've only test driven it so far for a few miles, so i'm anxious to get behind the wheel for real...tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow!!!

 

didnt I answer this in another thread already????

 

yes Brutal..it was discussed before in another thread, but i did not have pics in that thread. So i felt it was not totally diagnosed. I'm hoping adding pics will help confirm this.
I don't like to bump old threads with new info, rather post a new one to provide more concise info.
I've read up on replacing the rear lower front control arms, seems straight forward enough, and price is ok...less than $100 each. I'll probably do all 4 shocks around the same time.
I do appreciate your help and apologize if you felt i didn't take your advice. Just trying to provide better diag data:+)

 

wheeew, I thought I needed to stop drinking beer.....
my personal opinion is to leave threads alone and NOT open new ones. it tends to spread info across to many places and if all in 1 thread a person only has to read that thread. you can just addpics to a thread youve already started. and I understood what you were talking about without pics, but others may not. and yes theyre easy to change on your back and 4 bolts. keep in mind you need a pry bar to tweek the suspension to align the bolt holes as you install the new arms. and then go get it aligned

 

Thanks Brutal...duly noted and understood....i'll keep future "updates" to the original thread :+)
Now you know you're not going crazy you can go crack open another beer :+)

 

i'm now home and was able to jack up the car and check for play....WOW, there is a massive amount of play in the outer bushing of the rear lower front control arm, probably not much of a bushing left i imagine, now i can see and understand why the wheels point in at the top like they do. I'll be ordering replacements today.
Can someone check out my thread on "front end help needed" :+) probably same thing but i'd like a 2nd opinion...thanks

 

ordered the new control arms today $92.95 each with free shipping, also found just the bushings, but figured i'd just get the whole arm. Looking forward to a roadworthy jag!

 

im chasing a suspension noise, do you hear what sounds like bad shock or a rattle sound when going over bumps? I dropped the lower part of the shock and compressed the shocks and they seem ok, the dealership said my noise was rear sway bar links and wanted to charge 400 to replace did it my self for alot less but didnt solve my issue
