Hey all! I have a 92 Mustang GT and have noticed that my right (passenger) rear wheel sticks out a touch more than the left. It is probably a 1/2 inch to 3/4 and seems to be a new problem. I do have a panhard bar on the car, the torque boxes are in good shape. The control arms are stock and the bushings are old. Could the bushings be a factor? Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Usually a sign of worn bushings. Pretty common actually. My right rear sticks out .25" more than the left even with new control arms and bushings.

I have never seen a Fox that wasn't off just a bit in the rear. It's the nature of the beast.

Thanks for your replies. There isn't any strange tire wear or anything so I figured it must be something like that. Any other thoughts/ideas are welcome.

If you have a PHB on the car, you can center it with the PHB.

The factory control arms are not conducive to performance driving though...
