Evening chaps, coming here somewhat in desperation, in the hope someone might be able to offer some enlightenment! I've got a 99' MX-5 (mk2), a few months ago I managed to aquaplane into a kerb, the wheels were turned to the right and the near side alloy smacked into the kerb, putting a big old crack in the alloy. Seemed like a good excuse to buy 4 new Mazda issue alloys and tyres, however the car was pulling badly to the left. Had the wheels and alignment checked by the tyre shop, all fine, so I took it to a geometry specialist, who sorted all of the mis-alignments, except the camber. The guy just could not get the camber to line up, and suggested something must be bent but he didn't know enough about Mazdas to tell me what. The car drives better than it did now, but it does still pull left, turns left on braking, and feels pretty unsafe in the wet and at speeds over 60mph. When I got under the car it looks as though the left suspension arm might be ever so slightly bent, but I couldn't be sure. Anyone out there had a similar experience or have any ideas what is likely to be the problem? Last thing I want to do is replace an expensive part, get it re-aligned and find it wasn't the part responsible! Any help hugely appreciated!
