Excess Camber

[donofkarma]

A week ago (ish) I posted up (here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=206858&highlight=uneven+camber) that I was getting negative camber on my driver's side front wheel.

Since then I have had it up on ramps and managed to work out the ball-joint was bent. I replaced that, along with the wishbone. Even though the car seem tighter the negative camber is still there.

What else could be causing this? I'm assuming that if the shock/spring was gone I would notice through the handling, but it's been spot on. There are no odd vibrations, knocks, sqeeks or rattles when accelerating/braking/cornering. I'm actually stumped on this one so any help would be greatly appreciated (edde???)!

Thanks in advance.

if you havent hit anything, seems to me it must be a bad shock/suspension ...

About half an hour after I posted up yesterday, a friend and I got the tape measure, a pen and paper and started checking the front suspension on both sides. We've managed to work out that the front suspension is staright and the camber is being caused by the hub as these were the only measurements that were significantly different when comparing both sides. I know it's not the most scientific way of checking it but you make do with what you have!

This lead us to conclude that possibly a badly cast knuckle or incorrectly pressed bearing was the culprit

Has anyone got part numbers for the knuckle and bearing?

Cheers
