1997 850 driver side rear tire negative camber

Post by camjohns »

just so happen looked at my rear tires today while on the rack and saw the rear tire on my driver side showing a negative camber. I have looked around and looks like i need either Trailing Arm Bushing or a Trailing Arm Link? or both? any good install postings for these?

Thanks for the feedback!

There is a good post on this topic here:

I had to replace the bushings on one side a few years back. I took it to my local garage but based on what I've read on MVS it can be done DIY style.
1997 855 GLT (Light Pressure Turbo) still going strong. Previous: 1986 240 GL rusted out in '06, 1985 Saab 900T rusted out in '95, 1975 Saab 99 rusted out in '95, 1973 Saab 99 rusted out in '94

looked through that and it is very helpful! im now wondering if anyone has had success with fixing the negative camber that i am experiencing, and if there is a typical culprit that would cause that? or is it just hit or miss, and replace both parts

thanks!
