Default problem with my front right suspension???

i have a 96 sc300 equipped wit megan racing coilovers as soon as i started lowering it i noticed that the right front wheel was just caving in too much too much negative camber althought the left was perfect...now im trying to figure out could it be a control arm problem or a frame problem..any clues?

First problem is you put megan parts on your car.

Honestly it sounds like you need to double check how much you lowered each side. Just measure how much of the threads are showing. If its still messed up, then take it in to get corner ballanced and aligned. You always need to realign your car after you change the height.

My car is like that. I figure I'll just drive it til it breaks all the way then I'll know for sure what my problem is!

You can adjust your camber, so dont be too worried.

yea i know i can adjust it but when u look at the wheel from the top u can see that its not just a camber difference the whole wheel is pushed it more than the other side....im thinking bushings but i dont know if they can make such a difference??? battle- i tried messin wit them monday and when i lowered them i identical right side was still higher when i measure the fender ffrom the ground so i had to lower it a half inch more than the other side to make the level wit the ground..are u sayin megan has problems wit these???

Sounds like maybe your subframe is shifted over to one side, like the car got hit in one corner or side. Maybe have a body shop take a look at it.
