    One wheel farther out than the other.

    Ok so recently my passenger rear has been rubbing like hell on the slightest dips or even just a having a passenger in the car. Its rubbed the lettering off the sidewall its hitting so often. Like the title says the passenger wheel is noticeably farther out than the drivers side. The rear subframe and control arm bushings were all replaced a year ago. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks!!

    if all your bushings were replaced recently, then it sounds like you bent a trailing arm. i had the same problem but it was because my old rubber bushings had collapsed, causing one side to be uneven. new bushings fixed it. i would double check and make sure all your bushings are intact and torqued correctly, maybe one got damaged?

      Hmmm ok. The car is going up on the lift to look at other things but i'll double check the bushings. a damaged arm will be very easy to spot yes?

        Depends on how badly it is damaged. If it's just a little, it won't be noticeable except when placed against another arm.
