[6pack] Lack of symmetry

[Kendall Larsen]

I checked the offset of the two front wheels and they were both the same. (at 11.5cm) Also uploaded some pics of my suspension. Take a look if you're able to tell just by looking at the pictures if it is installed wrong. The car did have front end damage at one point in its life so it's very likely that it just wasn't straightened properly.

    Mike.

    Good one. That had not occurred to me. Seems like a distinct possibility.

I have seen those wheels listed with different offsets. Are you sure all four
wheels have the same offset?

>Hi Listers,
>There's a disturbing lack of symmetry that was made apparent with the wider
(16x7) wheels. The passenger side sticks out more than half inch further than
on the driver side. Not sure if the body just isn't on straight or if the
suspension is just borked or what. Looks like the tire will definitely make
contact with the fender if I hit a big bump on the road. Any ideas on how to
resolve?
