Title: N/S/F wheel seems to be closer to arch than the O/S/F?????? HELP!!
Post by: AliBailey88 on 09 October 2009, 22:45

since ive fitted my 18s and lowerd 35mm on shocks and springs ive noticed that the n/s/f wheels is closer to the rear of the arch than the o/s/f is, causing rubbing when locking left so the wheel is touching the the back of the n/s/f arch.

Is this accident damage from the past or is this normal?

ive set up all the tracking front to rear with the laser alignment at work so this isnt the issue.

any help would be great!

camber is not really the issue, its the caster angle, i would say its pointing rearward from the vertical axis.

check out Phil.O's thread a couple weeks ago, he had the same problem after fitting shocks and springs and it turned out his car was involved in a accident and because of cheap copy parts his was rubbing
