They supposibly adjusted the camber.. They said it was cambering because of the wheel. When i asked why is it only dropping on one side, because the passenger side was fine. He gave me the "its a new vehicle... We're learning about this vehicle like you are... I'm the first person with this issue that they have seen. So i told him to log on to the forums and read some other suspension issues people across the nation are having..

If U can get it up on the lift next time, some pictures might help clarify or see if something doesn't look right in the suspect area.

Just a thought!

Cheers!

I don't get it. :drink:

The suspension is collapsing? Or you are running over potholes hard enough to damage tires and cause suspension damage?

The rear camber adjustment from the factory is a typical eccentric. It should not drift. We use my G8 as a test bed. We track it. We drive it hard. The camber adjustment does not drift. There have been some drift issues with the toe on the ZETA platform, but this has been on factory prototype race cars running race tires under the most demanding conditions. There is no way possible to duplicate this on the street and even if you did -- it is the toe and NOT the camber that is drifting on these race cars.

There is nothing new or unusual about the G8 camber adjustment. Have the Dealer call one of my Pedders Dealers so we can get them squared away. Rob is already in the thread. Give him a call.

Thanks. I will get the number to reach someone once they get back to me with their diagnosis. I can tell you exactly what they say is causing the issue.

Been in Vegas 20 years. Pretty much know where all the potholes are in my stomping grounds.
