On my 85 200sx, my rear wheel is tilted in. I tried to fix these by getting new struts, but the wheel is still tilting. Someone told me that it might be a bearings or the springs. Does this sound right? If it is, can it be fix at home or do I have to take it to a shop to do? Thanks in advance.

Hit any curbs lately?

Any suspension mods? Tire and rim sizes?

If your shocks blew/springs sag or the car is lowered, it'll give you alot of negative camber. That's just how our rear suspension is. It's pretty crappy. Any pictures for us to see though?

Tilt in, like, tilt in at the top of the wheel, or tilt in from the front of the wheel?

Lol. I think everyone on this forum remembers the day when they realized this. Welcome to the s12.

There is no mods on the car. I replaced the struts with OEM struts. The car also have the stock wheels. The tire is tilting with the top in. I will try to get some pics posted soon. Thanks again for the help.

It's normal negative camber for our cars, we have a stupid rear suspension design. Let's see how bad it is, and we'll tell you how normal it is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
