rear wheel lean?

[fjrmurph]

Hi There

My sons Corolla has both back wheels leaning into the car, not wheel bearing problems. Could it be a bent strut. Everything looks ok. Anyone have any ideas?

could it be a alignment issue?

the the top or bottom of the wheels are going into the car, thats to much camber.

It the sides of the wheel are going into the car, thats too much toe.

It would have to be big differnce to be noticable. Has your son hit anything or nailed a big pot hole? (not trying to cast blame, just looking for more info)

it is a way too much camber for sure, potholes are a good possibility

many alignment shops do free alignment checks. Give it a shot and see what they say.

It's a 2001 with 160 KM's on and he drives like he has a tank, i've had to replace bent rims and a cut tire, so i would say he has hit a few potholes. I will drop it a a garage today and see what they have to say, THKS for all your help.

if the rear suspension is sagging then the wheels will camber inward more, could be weak springs or bad struts.

got the car back last night, it was a bent strut/shock tower, mechanic installed one we found at an Auto Wrecker. Wasn"t too bad $150.00 it was less than i expected to pay. Thanks all .
