    Unwanted negative Camber...

    Hi, I noticed that my newly bought 97 legacy wagon has negative camber on the rear wheels... And I know it wasnt made on purpose... Could it be the rear suspension bushings acting up, or something worst?

    Thanks

    Is it sitting on non-stock suspension? Stock? What condition is the suspension in?

    I suppose a bushing could cause some minor camber changes, but I doubt it would make it visibly off on its own.

    I would get it aligned and see what they say. Or find a shop that does free quotes and have them look at it.

    Most cars will have some negative camber to around -0.5 normally. Anything beyond -0.8 is either an error or a request for a custom alignment. I'd just go get it aligned and rotate the tires.
