Q: Right, rear wheel is tilting in more 5 degrees (or more)

asked by on July 28, 2017

Right, rear wheel (only) is tilting in quite a bit, around 5- degrees. There is NO bearing noise at all. Put car up and look over everything. Wheel is 'tight,' has a friend who is a HUGE weight lifter, do some serious shaking on the tire...nothing. Nothing looks bent. Camber adjust looks good. Really stump, but I am "home" mach., so truthfully not super knowledgeable on rear ends. Have not done any rear end work in over 20 years.

NOTE: Bonneville is "SSEi" Air-Induct.

Thank you! Charlie

EGR Valve or Mass Air Flow Sensor: Which is more likely for the poor startup and rough idling that I have been experiencing?
The codes do not necessarily implicate the EGR system or the MAF sensor as a multitude of other faults are as likely. Basically, the codes suggest there is too little fuel, or too much air, in the cylinder charge (the...
