first off, as far as i know this car has never been wrecked or in a major colision.

Issue: My driver side front wheel is closer to the fender than the other side. The passenger wheel is nice and centered in the wheel well. But the driver side one is pushed back somehow. I dont know how this happens, but i certainly hope its not major. Its been like that for a while, but i figured it just needed alingment. I installed some springs and took it to an alingment shop. They said they couldnt fix that and it pulls to the left cause of that. So now im puzzled. What gives?? I just got new rims and the tires will be here soon. I have a tad over an inch clearence when the wheel is turned, and it looks liek the 18's will rub :(


help!!! :bang: :fuss: :damnit:

p.s the alingment shop said they can 'pull' it forward, but my question is pull on what??? What is the reason its liek this? I dotn want him goin in there pullin on random **** and damaging other parts just to get the wheel alinged.
 
You had the car aligned?

The caster settign can change where the wheel falls inside the wheel well (front / rear). and if it is pulling it could be that the caster is not the same on each wheel.
