Negative INFINITY Camber: a new reason that causes this
I recently took my car to mr. mb motors in tarzana to have some work done on it. As it was on the hoist, I peek under the car and notice a crack in my left rear lca. it was like, 2" long. I showed it to the mechanic and he recommended I have it welded up or replaced as soon as possible. I figured I had lots of time to get this to a muffler shop and get it re-welded. Well, I was wrong. I arrived at the junkyard this morning for half price day sale, got out of my car, and noticed the wheel has crazy camber to it. I peek under the lca and that crack grew, in like 1,000 miles, to all the way across the lca--from the point where it's stamp welded together from the factory on one end, all the way under the depression where the spring and shock sit, to the other stamp weld on the other side. I google mapst my way to the nearest muffler shop, and as a temporary measure, got him to weld and reinforce the crack. It took him about half an hour of arc welding to get it patched up. You guys think it's safe to drive like this till the new LCA arrives?
