  • passenger side tie rod end worn out....

    new one is an easy fix and will be done soon but I was wondering why just that side.....

    car has 228000k and i did the LCA's 2 years ago as they were worn and messing up the inside of my tires , now the same thing but this time the tie rod end.

    also , can the camber be adjusted ??

    it looks like it is a bit negative ...

    maybe springs??

    The only stock adjustment for camber that I know of is done with the top of the strut. Take the 2 nuts that mount the strut to the body lose, lower strut, turn the top of the strut 180°, re-install. The bolts are not absolutely centered. It's not a lot of adjustment, but it's better than nothing.

      to adjust, you'll need offset bolts, you can get them about anywhere (online).

      having bad LCAs can cause premature component wear on other related parts, so this isn't a surprise.

          my passenger side gets worn out first too due to the pot holes always being towards that side of the rode. My shocks also worn out first on the passenger side also so im leaning towards the pot holes here in hawaii. for some reason they always form on the right side.
