This isn't easily seen by eye tbf, I thought it was...but it turns out both sides have loads of camber as standard, I just never noticed before as the wheels were never straight when parked lol.
The tech and I couldn't see anything obviously bent at all which is odd for what seems a fairly large amount of camber.
I will confess I hit a speedbump extremely hard the first drive in it... I take this bump at about 25 in the Focus and barely feel it (just hear the tools jump in the boot), took it at 20 in the ST and honestly thought I'd popped the tyre, take it at 10mph now! The noise and feeling was horrific lol, I'm wondering if the wheel was already toeing out with the crap tracking, if that impact may have bent the strut outwards as well. The inner edge wear on the tyre suggests its been like it for a while though so I really don't know if it was me or not. I also ruined the sidewall (fortunately on that same tyre lol!) on a huge pot hole that may have done it, which again I cruise straight over in the Focus, I really can't get on with low profile tyres lol!
