My pass side required TWICE the amount of neg camber? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I just got my low offset wheels. How does my pass side require -5.6 degrees of camber and my right only -3.2 to JUST BARELY clear the fenders (very flush). That is almost twice the amount. Toe is almost within factory spec. The alignment guy says this was common on s13/14.

What should I be looking at? My subframe looks alright. Would solid bushings help center it? This is driving me bananas.

EDIT: The wheels are 18x9.5 +15 on 255 width tires

Control arms good? As in not bent...

If your subframe is off center, that would explain it.

How possible would this be? If its bolt in and out on several fixed studs then I would doubt this possibility but you would probably know better than I would..

Your bushings could be toast and if they are OEM then most likely they are.

Off center subframe. A buddy had same issue. Car had been involved in side accident, pushed the subframe off to one side.
