Help needed, took the car in for four wheel laser alignment, as the day after driving in torrential rain, with four of us in the car, noticed that the tracking was definitely out. The offside front was out but so was the offside rear. Front was corrected, however, the rear was showing it was out by 0 degrees 12mins. Now I know that the rear can't be adjusted and my initial gut feeling is that the radius arm but after inspecting it there is no play or movement visible but I can see that the wheel is toeing in. No kerbs have been hit, or potholes and there are'nt any visible impact marks on the wheel,tyre or any where else. I know the puntos suffer with radius arms but from what I can see the bravo's seem to be more robust and suffer less with this. Thought before I change the arm, I'd ask for opinions, just in case any of you have had the same experience. Also, don't want to change the arm, only to find, possibly it's a subframe issue. There's no banging or clunking or any other horrible sounds to indicate anything. Any thoughts ?:bang:
 
To check a radius arm you must jack under the body not the arm itself, you then need to push/pull up and down holding the wheel at 12 and 6, you need to be firm as your trying to overcome the spring tension as well.
