Camber on rear of mk3.Radius arm?

Post by Billybaggins »

So have a bit of negative camber on rear left of a mark 3 gta. Will a repair kit for 20quid sort this or does it usually end up in a new arm? Any ideas of coat or labour hours to do repair or replace? Thanks

all depends on how bad the bearings are and if they have worn the arm or not there's some radius arms on eBay at the moment for around 40 quid

Where would the arm wear so I can check it tonight? Would you know how many hours labour a garage would charge to replace it? Thanks

where the radius arm axle goes through the radius arm there is a bearing in each end. these bearings are pressed into the radius arm and can wear through out into the cast metal. if this happens the arm could be drilled out more and bushed but for £40, if my arm was worn through, I would just buy another radius arm.
