Well I just had quite a fight with my C30, I installed the adjustable camber arms on the rear suspension. A fairly simple job with four bolts turned into a knock down drag out fight for eight hours.

Had a good quality suspension/alignment shop positively identify the issue, and order/replace the bearing hubs. I'm rather unhappy with the total parts and labor cost (over a grand), but the car drives normally...
