Ball joint, positive camber on drivers wheel now sorted
#9
Spoke to Pug this morning, and they did do 2 lengths of ball joint a shorter one for non pas and the pas one was slightly longer. But as mine is a late car (18mm) joints, they said that all late cars came with power steering so it sounds as if like Toms306 mentioned above that the 2 different length ones were only in the 16mm pas and non pas, and all late cars fitted with 18mm ones had power steering as standard, so only one length avaliable.
So i guess this isn't the issue, what else would cause the drivers side wheel to have slight positive camber, could the top mounts cause this, as the steering on the drivers wheel does feel a little sloppy.

It has had new tre's and inner tie bars in the last 6 months , a new non ovaled hub on the drivers side and drop links, the springs and shocks are not that old maybe a year or so, but the old top mounts were reused when the shocks and springs were changed. So they are still the original ones so have covered over 150k.

Cheers Titch
