    Default Inside of the back left tyre is rubbing on chassis

    My vs calais, has got a issue since I slid into a gutter.
    Iv taken a few photos if you need visuals

    Problems

    - control arm was bent *replaced*
    - tyre was to close to chassis * camber kit was installed and tyre was adjusted 2 inches away from chassis*

    its gone in 3 time this week to get adjusted the machanic now is on a mission to get it fixed or find the problem.

    Every time its been adjusted it moves back to were it was before the.. temporary fix

    any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated

    I'd be looking at the diff cradle, it may have moved or been bent itself.
