Hi folks
Back avian another problem have got pass front wheel leaning out ie beg camber but don't know why or how have replaced the lower arm bushes no change did notice when freeing the tie bar a sharp edge after looking looks like the bracket that the tie bar is bolted thru has shifted backwards a little poss less than 10 mm
1st problem would this cause the wheel to lean out and 2nd can it be repaired or don't really fancy it new sub frame ?
Any advice would be most appreciated
Thanks lee

You really need to get this looked at by a garage that knows Minis.

 

If the bracket at front of subframe has been bent back by 10mm that is a lot of distortion, and the subframe may well be damaged / weakened. This would change the caster angle of that wheel, and may also be the reason why the wheel is not straight...

 

Do you know if the car has been in an accident or has clipped a kerb really hard?

Hi carbon
Thanks for the reply bought it last year just a bit of a project and don't know the cars history
Have had a look under car looks pretty straight just the usual jacking dents on under side of sub frame
I'll have to get it checked out but nearest mini specialist to me is Warrington so I'll prob give the a call on Monday
