So as the title states, I got a new set of struts on the car and I noticed an exccessive amount of camber at the rear wheels. Before going ahead and getting camber bolts to correct the issue, what might've caused this in the first place?

your first error was going with ebay struts. just to go autozone or advanced auto (or places like that) and just get struts from there.

QUOTE (mkernz22 @ Aug 22, 2012 - 10:20 AM)  your first error was going with ebay struts. just to go autozone or advanced auto (or places like that) and just get struts from there. Thought I'd give them a try and it was a learning experience. Apparently the seller was aware that he sent me the wrong part. The struts worked fine, and they were pretty much similar except where the mounts for everything seemed to be for a smaller car. I got a new set of rears (Monroes) and all is good now. The rears have proper camber, and I have no more rear suspension noise (the endlinks were pre-loaded I believe which made it impossible to tighten them properly leading to noisy sway bar) Pics will follow in a little bit of the BEFORE and I'll take ones of the AFTER, as well as some misc pics in my build thread. Thanks for the suggestions. Hope this can help someone out later on. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
