i recently bought a 90 rx7 vert that had been slid into a ditch, the rear passenger side wheel has alot of positive camber (wheel siting out at the top) and a little toe out..the drivers side rear wheel looks fine, it has negative camber but the car is lowered with tein ss coilovers so i suspect the negative camber is normal...my question is on the passenger side rear, what should i look at replacing first? is it the small link that is attached to the lower control arm thats causing the positive camber? ive looked at the car on a lift and i cant see anything that is obviously bent but the small link that i mentioned earlier is sitting at a slight angle...sorry for the long post but i have a parts car but i dont want to have to replace the whole rear suspension just because i dont understand the geometry of it.

thanks yall,

no one? i thought someone would clear this up for me in a second... is there somthing wrong with my question or is it just the fact that im a newb?

 

Could just be nobody on that knows.... I'm not very smart with suspension stuff... so I have nothing for you except "Be patient." hehe. sorry man

Its not just because you are new.

 

No mang., it's not an area where everyone knows what they're talking about (including me). Those not posting are doing you a favour instead of leading you to the wrong direction. All I can say is take it to a frame shop and have them make sure the chassis is still fine, then start measuring suspension components.

Maybe the links to the FSM below and stuff will help with a few pictures.

 

agreed.

 

No, the biggest reason no responce yet is that is not something that is easy to diag without being there. New to this forum, but I have done suspension work/repair for years and from the sounds of it I would put it on a frame machine and have it checked, sounds like a bent mount to me, because if it was a bar then most people would be able to see it.

 

I put my first fc into a curb the first day i had it. Needless to say i became very intimate with the supsension. take a look at the lower control arm, see if its kinked at all, mine exploded and took the shock with it.

 

i dont see why people think dropping the subframe is such a big deal. it would probably be easier to replace the whole thing than one component. without actually knowing/telling us what is damaged (or showing pics) how do you expect us to know whats wrong and how to fix it?

 

^ word

 

this is true...i havent had the time to post up any pics but i did think about it, and i will take ur advise and just tear into it tomorrow and just replace the whole thing...i thank you all for the replies, they are much appreciated.
