My drivers side wheel sets back about 1 inch further than the other. The car was hit in the front end previously but with minimum damage. What could be causing this? I was thinking struts and control arm bushings and then go from there, but wanted some more opinions first! I am new here and will be a frequent visitor!!

Possible your K-member took a shot during the accident. Your K-member might have been moved when it was hit. I'm not a body guy but this was the first thought that came to mind. Hope this info helps and not hinders you.

They guy hit a Rav 4, resulting in a tear in t hood and a broken header bar. Supposedly he was at a near stop. She drives pretty good just a little over steers to the right. How difficult to adjust the K member, and should I still try struts and bushings first? You can look at the factory excuse for C/C plates and see that something is up w/ the right strut. The control arm bushings are visibly shot as well. Thanks Guys.

I dont know, the k-member might be worth looking at, you can't really adjust it though, its kind of a replace it item. The control arm bushings are probably fine, and you can probably see if they are the problem by comparing them to the other side, the control arm might be worth taking off and and comparing to the other one, the strut could have been bent also. To be honest with you if it's not something you can see with taking your time and looking really hard, it may need a trip to the dreaded body shop
