i have a corsa b t reg and in a nutshell i have unexplainable camber.
about a month ago i got drove into without me been in the car and the assholee drove off.
soo after that i noticed i had some rather serious camber going on on my front wheels, so i then bought a bottom arm thinking mine was bent, in the end it wasnt. i then bought a full anti roll bar thinking mine was bent and it wasnt. we then took the struts off to see if they were bent and they werent.
i then bought camber bolts that were meant to take the camber away, they also havent worked.
the camber differs when i either go forward or reverse.
when i reverse my wheels have positive camber
when i go forward my wheels are negative camber
nothing is bent. drive shaft isnt bent. me and my mate are just stumped as to what it could be. tried everything and nothing has worked.
just hope you guys can assist me in getting rid of the camber??
i will put pictures on tomorrow. its a wee bit dark now
cheers for reading

If it changes when you drive, something is very loose.

As above. Sound like your wheel is very loose or your driveshaft
Something is deffo hanging off. If anything was bent it would stay one way

Any play at all in the wheels when its jacked up? Checked CV joints for damage?

CV or shafts shouldn't affect it.
Can only be on one of the three mount points for the strut, ie. top mount, bottom arm or control arm.
Or the bolts connecting the above to the hub aren't tight.
Hub face orientation should not at all be affected by shafts.

like ian said, but could also be totally failed wheel bearings but you would notic a noise when driving. or do you mean the toe setting not camber? for it to move when going forward to reverse something must be really loose or joints extremlly worn out!

Take it to a garage and have a full 4 wheel laser alignment check to see what is out and by how much. And they can either adjust it or advise whats damaged or loose?
Sounds serious if it changes when you reverse and you've went through tyres, I'd be getting it looked at asap

cheers for the help guys but im just gonna sell it, if it doesnt sell for what i think its worth then i may look at trying to fix it but i would rather just get rid as i dont have the time nor funds to carry on getting tyres every week and buying parts to fix it.
but again cheers anyway dudes
