My 05 V has all stock suspension, and recenty has been wearing the right rear tire pretty quickly. After driving my daily fifty mile round trip to work, I can see "black rubber dust" on the bottom portion of my rear fender and bumper. Just by looking at tire from the rear, its obvious there is a ton of negative camber. I jacked up the car and loosened the camber adjustment bolt. I then kicked the bottom of the tire till the bolt was bottomed out or against the adjustment slot. Doing this I was hoping that I could get less negative camber, atleast alot closer to 0 for a temporary fix till i could have it aligned. After lowering the car back to the ground, I took a look at the tire from the rear again and it look much better. I then drove around the block and it went back to the way it was, a ton of negative camber. Looked under the car, and the adjustment had not moved. I even removed the nut and bolt was still bottomed out, where i had put it. JAcked the car back up and inspected the balljoints and bushings, but really couldnt find anything wrong. I was thinking maybe the weight of the car was shifting those upper control arm, or a-arm bushings and I just cant see it happening. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Checked for anything bent? Pull both rear tires off and compare sides. Maybe take a picture of the crucial areas on both sides and do a side by side comparison.

Also, check your toe--changes in camber affect the toe also... or just take it in for an alignment.

 

Does that side sit lower than the other (blown shock)? Mine also has a ton of negative camber even though I'm maxed out in the alignment slot. But I have lowering springs also.
