   Hi guys looking at my car other day whilst up on ramps and noticed my rear wheels have a slight camber . Any opinions or advice would be great as I intend to lower it soon and dont wanna run into any unwanted problems or extra cost.
   
   What do ya think?
   
   
   
   
   Cheers guys

   You didn't notice any rattles/knocks coming from the back of the car?

   Its exactly the same on mine, My rear drivers side was really bad and after 3 years decided to change it, IM axles did mine, i picked it up and changed it myself, after a few bolts it came of easily and fitted just as quick all in all about 3 hrs to do mine

   Yeh I know What you mean, really pondering if it's worth lowering it at all due to the axle.

    Get in touch with imaxles, they're brilliant. Offered me a replacement axle (still under warranty) even though I hadn't sent off my old axle to them. They also offer to lower the axle for you if I recall, but apparently they're not brilliant at setting the right height.
