    Dc2r Wheel problem

    Problem: Hey, i look at the back of my Dc2r i look at the left wheel looks perfect i look at the right wheel from the rear and its camber'd??

    when i have a full car load 4 people, left side rear wheel rubs but my right sides perfect doesnt rub cause of the camber...

    Question:

    1- do Type r's usually rub at the rear on full car load??
    2- Is my whole rear subframe bent??

    Extra info: I did hit an island with my rear right wheel at about 50 km's - 60 km's, when i first bought the car...

    cheers

    have you gotten a wheel alignment since the hit? Maybe ur rear trailing arm is slightly bent

    same thing with my car, but its at the front. From front view, the right wheel looks more in then the other left one. Friends think its a camber problem, but i think i farked it up...

    i actually did take it to pedders for front and back wheel alignment, they said it was out abit on front and the rear was bad....

    they told me it was all good though...and ive noticed it a week later but the car still drives perfect...and ive been driving it like that for ages.

    i dont think its the camber man, it seems like the wheel has been pushed in to the core. But i will try it, i just need to find the right allan key

    wow... you guys are driving around in defectable, dangerous cars....

    If you rear wheel is canbered, and Pedders couldnt dial it out, you have BENT something... this bend will effect the way the car handles, the way it reacts, it's attitute through a corner etc etc, and will be putting undue stress on our parts of you suspension/hub...

    and its even worse at the front... you may be lucky for a week, a month, a year, but i wouldnt drive for a prolonged period on bent suspension gear...

    get it fixed
    - not removed by choice! - waiting for the next update to the saga

    Not take it back there... that's what you can do.

    If you do take it back there because you have no where else to take it, tell them about what happened last time, and that you would prefer for a more experianced person to take it for a test drive, or go with them.

    You seriously should have told them after it happened.
