A friend on mine's Classic Impreza MY98 is booked in for a 4 wheel alignment tomorrow.

The passenger side rear tyre has obvious positive camber.

What could cause this?

Damo

 

Camber bolt slipped.
Bent strut/ bent lower transverse arms/bent subframe (heavy curbed car)

 

if its std then the rear doesn't have any camber adjustment to speak of, so something bent as above.........

Did you get this problem fixed then?
I have the same problem, rubs on the passenger rear with my new 18's.
i booked it in for next tuesday, spoke to the guy and he mentioned it could the the whole rear subframe has moved or gone out of allignment, so they loosen all the bolts allign it all then tighten it all up again, because as said there are no camber bolts or anything to adjust the camber on the rear.
Might get camber bolts for the rear aswel, look cheap enough.

 

Theres no adjustment as such on my newage Sti but the amount of movement allowed by the 2 bottom bolts that hold the strut/spring assembley has to be seen to believed.
