   hi all another problem. my rear axle on the drivers side wheel has negative camber only slightly . looks like |-----\ i have a recipt for a new axle been fitted with the car from 2 years ago. i have a read a round and i think it might be the bushes? as i cant see an axle failing after 2 years. also the car is lowered prob 70 mm on back so could it have been a shitty lowering job causing inequal stress on torsoin bar?
   
   anybody have any ideas as its due for an mot soon. cheers guys

   Not gonna be bushes I'm afraid mate.
   
   That is indeed a fubared axle.
   
   70mm down will be causing a fair bit of stress anyway, if it was a dodgy lowering job then it makes matters even worse.

   Common for axles to go on a saxo, 2 years could be possible if its lowered 70mm
   Looking at £150-£500 for a 2nd hand one
