***HELP*** Lupo Gti positive camber

[Meggsy21.]

Hi Guys

Need to know what you think could be the problem:

Brought my Gti about 2/3 weeks ago knowing it needed work, one problem being that there appeared to be positive camber on the front nearside wheel. After replacing the Astra Sport Steels that were on there with the original Bathurst Alloys and a lower wishbone that was kinked at the wheel end, the camber is much better but still noticable. I thought it may have just been a camber bolt and plate adjustment but on closer inspection the top of the wheel is where is should be in reference to the other side. It therefore seems that the bottom of the wheel needs to come out. What could be causing this, its clear the previous owner has had a smack on a curb or something. I am also having the CV Joint replaced at some point as the boot is split and the joint is running dry. Some people have suggested bent subframe which I am praying is not the case. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Did you buy the correct ball joints when you changed the wishbone?

They are different on the GTI to the other models, only VW will have the correct ones

Didn't buy any ball joints as the guy who fitter the arm just said get the arm lol is that likely to affect it then? 99% novice btw

Thanks

Probably the fitter got the wrong bits.

Well it it was damaged enough to require a new wishbone it is very likely the ball joint was trashed too.

Mechanic will have bought them as one unit which is wrong, the GTI ball joint is specific to the car. Wishbone itself if the same though
