Not sure of what you are describing ... not enough probing here yet.

Are you describing toe angle or camber or wheel run out (wobble)?

The possible things spring to mind, pardon the pun

Firstly, you have a broken or weak spring, this is dependant on how the geometry reacts to compression, most RWD cars add some toe in by design to the rear wheels as the arse end squats under acceleration, this also aids stability, does the static ride height of the car look any different from side to side ?? or just the toe angle ?

Secondly, a worn / perished bushing causing toe in

Thirdly, bent wishbones from a harsh impact - clonk on the kerb maybe ?

Check the posting date, Safraz. As a newbie, you should know that we generally don't close threads around here because they contain valuable information, so don't expect a response when you post to an old thread, especially to particular members. Case in point is that this thread was started 9 years ago and the OP, aresh, hasn't been around for almost four of those years.
