C3 - 1978 Rear wheel angle out.

[Steve Carr]

Here is my situation.. My 78 with low miles has a problem with the real wheels angling out. I have looked at the adjustments and found them to be fully at the shortest position possible. Looking for suggestions... Thanks.

Steve -

Two possible causes - 1) Bushings deteriorated in the ends of the camber strut rods so max cam bolt adjustment isn't adequate any more, and/or 2) Diff yokes badly worn at the inboard end where they contact the pinion shaft. I'd look at the strut rod bushings first.

Yep. Bushings would deteriorate as a function of time. The axle stub ends won't. Seen them this way myself on lo mile cars.
