After a spirited run around and over the cones I noticed a rubber smell persisting. This week driving to work I heard a squeal. Today it seems the right rear tire is rubbing the inner fender where the box projects towards the wheel. The camber has become more pronounced and is visibly tipped in at the top of the wheel. Tires are 205s, but they cleared before. Clearly something has changed, and I suspect that in fact it changed during the autocross. Can you help me with ideas? The suspension console looks ok but the car has rust separating much of the firewalls from the floor at the rear. Car actually feels solid with no door gap issues.

check the bushings in the trailing arm first (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) jack the car up and you should notice that you can flex the wheel in and out. look at the pickup points and if they look fine then it's the bushings. you can get large amounts of movement from both problems and it's easy to tell which one it is. hopefully it's just bushing as that is the cheap fix. |
