    thread reviver. Just wanted to ask a few questions about the euro leaning on one side. My euro pulls really hard to the right, and it can be shown now since my outside of the tyre is completely worn. I have gone for 2 suspension checks. The first one told me I needed my front lower control arm replaced because it is bent, causing a postive camber on the right. The second mechanic however, told me to replace the UPPER control arm so I can replace the ball joint and rectify the positive camber. All I want to know is, will adjusting the camber to negative but ignoring the "slightly" bent control arm an issue??

    Thanks all!!

    Best to replace the lower control arm if it is bent. Having camber adjustability would be nice though.

    I just ordered a front camber kit for my car, then i'll see how it goes. The mechanic at the workshop told me it was a "possible" bend and it would be 0.5mm max. He also said that most cars aren't really straight anyways from hitting kurbs and potholes, and that it should be fine. Seeing as you recommended me to replace the arm aaron, I might replace it if the problem still persists. Then that means it will be my fourth allignment this year.....damn do I feel my wallet getting light from just the allignments.....
