Can anyone tell me why my wheels are like this ?
« on: 10 July 2010, 17:21 »
Oks gave the car a clean today and waist i was cleaning under the front wheel archers i noticed that the gap was different, so i got a best measuring device around and. . .my hand  :laugh: and i did it as at the same hight

Its the side of the wheel nearest to the doors


fingers were lose

fingers pushed up

Any idea what's up/damaged?

thanks

probably best to just ignore it then.. the only thing it can be is if somethings shunted oneside back which they would pick up on the MOT as they spend loads of time at that part of the car.. is it majorly noticeable without your hand there ??

I see the problem........You have far too much skin on your fingers  :shocked:  Have you been in the bath for a while before taking the pics?  :grin:       Is it considerably lower one side as the wheels move further towards the rear doors or front of rear arch as the car goes lower.

well . . . i had a problem the passengers side just after i got the car, hit a pot hole and it foobard my car broke suspension spring was that bad a hole it naked my alternator snapped a bit off it and i got £300+ back from the counsel but that would have been after the last M.O.T. cant really tell if your looking only if you feel around you can feel the gap difference.

got a feeling its going to come up on the M.O.T. . .  :undecided:

It is less than 20mm difference though, they probably wont notice. Old peugeots with the torsion bars knackered still pass and they look really blatently odd. Not as odd as ya digits though..........     Just kidding mate, their like a models hands, infact I just let out a bit of sex wee thinking about them x
