How to Solve Uneven Rear Wheel Camber?

Uneven rear wheel camber issues can generally be resolved by replacing the chassis suspension components. Here are the relevant details: 1. The most common cause of steering pull is incorrect four-wheel alignment angles, so a four-wheel alignment correction is recommended. 2. Check if the tire pressure on both sides differs significantly, as large pressure differences can cause the vehicle to pull while rolling. 3. Uneven damping on both sides of the front shock absorber springs can be assessed by pressing or removing and comparing them to determine their condition. 4. A failed front shock absorber can cause uneven suspension height and force distribution during driving. 5. Brake drag on a single wheel, where the brake does not release properly after pressing the pedal, continuously applies resistance to the wheel. 6. It is advisable to visit a professional 4S shop to replace rear suspension components for a solution.

I encountered this issue last time as well. It wasn't until I took it to the 4S shop for inspection that I found out it was a rear suspension problem. The technician said common causes include: deformed suspension links, deteriorated rubber bushings, or possibly deformed knuckle bushings. The most frustrating part is that such issues require a wheel alignment to confirm. During adjustment, they need to use eccentric bolts or replace adjustable links, and the key is to ensure the left and right parameters are set consistently. If the car body is deformed or accident repairs weren't done properly, the workload increases significantly - they might even need to remove the rear axle for correction or perform cutting/welding to adjust mounting holes. By the way, in severe cases, it can cause tire wear and make the steering wheel shake violently at high speeds. Early detection and treatment is definitely the right approach.

The mechanic told me this situation requires several steps: first, inspect the chassis components for deformation or damage, checking parts like control arms and link bushings. Using a four-wheel alignment machine to measure data is crucial, as many shops can't accurately assess by eye alone. Adjustments depend on the rear suspension structure—models with adjustable rods can simply tweak the screws, but some base models require aftermarket adjustment parts. If the car has been in a collision, restoring the reference points through chassis metalwork is more complicated, often requiring frame straightening. Oh, and after installing new shock absorbers, a realignment is mandatory—my friend skipped this step and ended up with uneven tire wear.

It's so annoying when the car keeps pulling to one side! My old Passat had this issue last year - the steering wheel always needed a tug to the right, and the car would gradually drift if I let go. The mechanic said it was due to incorrect camber angle on the left rear wheel, which turned out to be caused by a deformed rear axle trailing arm. The worst part is these chassis problems are nearly impossible to fix yourself - you need professional equipment like a frame straightener to correct it, or even replace the entire rear axle assembly if the deformation is severe. Now I get wheel alignment checked every three months, and always inspect the tire tread wear pattern since uneven wear is an early warning sign of alignment issues.
