Got to school today and noticed that the front left wheel looked like it has camber. Negative camber, that is.
Then I parked somewhere else and it was gone.
Now, I have a feeling one of my wheel bearings is shot, as when I'm driving I hear this godawful sound.
Could this be a reason as to why?
probably a bent bottom arm, or the wheel is loose
If its negative its more likely to be a bent strut.a bent bottom arm would pull the wheel bottom closer in thus making positive.

Its likely to be pretty clear when you jack it up and look.

I tightened the wheel t o 110NM torque. I don't think it's loose. I tried pushing it around and stuff, and nothing.

Ah balls. That sounds expensive.

Next Monday at school, I'll try and take a look at it.

But, if something was bent, wouldn't that show all the time?
I'll do it by location of tire valve, as that's how I looked at it.
When the tire valve is at the top, the wheel sticks out from the bottom.
When it's at the bottom, the wheel is arrow straight.

Bent wheel?
The wheel is fine too. I seriously have no clue as to what it could be.
So you jack it up and spun it and it wobbles back and forth?
