Hi everyone, after opinions on a problem I've noticed on my car.
It's on the offside side suspension mount crossmember, where the eccentric camber adjustment bolt locates. It looks like the part the washer sits against is bulging out and looks a bit worrying.
I've not noticed this before so don't know if it's gonna get worse or maybe it's just when I had the geo done the guy forced the bolt a bit to much causing the damage, I'm just worried it could get worse and don't want the worse to happen whilst on track, what do you guys think?

I'd suggest you show it to your local wrench / dealer. As you say, better to learn now than on the track ! I had an issue this year with the engine brace pulled back possibly by lift during dealer service. It was fixed at their expense.

Why on earth you still have eccentric bolts? Throw them away and buy a decent pair of toe links.
These rubber ones won't hold alignment even if the weather changes.

I am getting the tarret toe links in the new year,the damage i found though is for the lower arm camber adjuster,is there an alternative for this? Also as i have rs split rear arms could i use the tarret locking plates meant for the toe links and shim the arms instead,cheers for advice and help
