    Drivers front tire farther out???

    R3v,

    I'm looking for assistance with my tire/suspension issue.
    From the pictures below you'll see that my drivers tires seems to be pushed out farther out. It's pretty annoying because is visible and also because since my car is lowered my left/drivers tire rubs on the fender when i turn (need to get them rolled).

    Looking for any suggestions. I'm in the process of moving so won't be able to look much now but this is the first I want to tackle once I'm all moved in.

    Thanks in advanced for any and all help.

    That could be anything from wheels with different offsets to shot bushings to bent control arms to a bad previous front-end collision that wasn't repaired correctly.

    And congrats on the new place!

      Thanks, really excited about the house.

      The wheels are 14 basketweaves so it's not that. And it did have a previous front end damage on that side actually but everything looks straight but I'll double check. Bushings look good so I'll really look closely at the control arms.

      Thanks again.

        toe out of whack? It looks like the driver's side has a bunch of toe out.

          Codyep3, I'll look a little closer and see if it looks out. I'll probably take it for a wheel alignment check and go from there. Maybe they can find something bent or wacked that I could replace.

            one fender could be aligned/pulled more/differently than the other as well.
