Hi everyone I'm after some advice, so I'm rebuilding my rear subframe and have stumbled across a problem! I have the trailing arms in both sides however the brackets that sit at each end do not appear to line up! Initially i had negative camber brackets from minispares (pre formed so non adjustable) and because they didn't line up i assumed they were faulty and bent. I have just tried to fit standard brackets and these don't line up either! Are the thrust washers different? I have just gone through our spares and found straight and chamfered thrust washers? Would this cause a problem I will state all 4 that are fitted are currently chamfered! Could it be that the subframe or both trailing arms are bent at all??

Thanks

The thrust washers are different inner and outer.

Thanks A cell, are any of them chamfered as it doesn't explain in the link

I think the inner one is thinner than the outer one. The outer one is the same as used on the front top arm. Can't remember about the chamfer.

Hi thanks for that info we put two non chamfered thrust washers on and its done the trick on one side now to do the other side! Appreciate your help and sending me the link as well!
