The steering will feel crap with +ve camber as you're losing a lot of contact patch like that lol.

Also I'm sure it was you that hit a bump in the road about a month ago and complained about an odd feeling then??

Yeah it was but, it wasn't a bump it was a dip, not a pot hole just a bit of camber in the road, what i had then was horrible the back end wanted to keep coming round, a new non ovaled hub sorted that. I had most of suspension componants out to check them over then and nothing was bent and i didn't notice the camber after that only since i recently fitted a new ball joint.This feels totally different, but it has got me stumped, i guess the shock could be slightly bent or the top mount gone?.
