Hi all, i have an issue with the front camber on the wedge where by the nearside appears a great deal more negative camber than the offside, measuring on a flat surface with a spirit level against each tyre and held vertical the difference is some 9mm, and that difference is taken just over the diameter of the rims. Now when I look up to the top arm bolt on each side I'm thinking I can see the bolt on near side looks bent just in front of the bush and the offside not so. Has anyone had this issue in the past? I suppose I will be looking at a front end bolt and bush replace all around and on both sides, help please, wooly

I had the inner steel tube of one lower arm bush collapse, this allowed the arm to move about no end to the extent that it shagged the tyre on that side: to say steering was vague is an understatement.
I guess it could make the wheel appear more or less cambered.
