Alignment problem
About a month ago I sent my Miata into a curb and while I was very lucky to only mess up the alignment it is still causing me problems. I hit the curb in such a way that the front half of the rear right wheel was smashed it (causing an excessive toe in). I then took it apart and replaced the following:
1. The bent LCA bolt 2. Lower control arm 3. Upper control arm 4. Rear subframe After replacing the LCA bolt which is know to be the common fault, I still had toe in, even when my eccentric bolts we're adjusted to maximize toe out. Basically no matter what I do with the alignment, I run out of adjustment and the right rear wheel is still toed in. This is leading me to think I bent a frame rail, but I can't imagine doing that when I have 4 parts that would yield before the frame, acting as protection. Could my hub be bent? It looks fine. Of note all the replacement parts were measured and deemed straight Thanks |
Hub could easily be bent, yea. You can get massive toe swing with one eccentric in and the other out.

Ok thanks, I'll take a look at it

Don't really think anyone looks here anymore, but for record keeping sake it was the upright
|
Yes we do. Problem identification and resolution is indeed appreciated.
