HELP
Right then, my off side front wheel is in under the arch further than my near side front wheel by a fair bit
I have changed the drive shaft and had the alignment done recently but didn't notice it being like this before any work was done. Anyone shed any light on what could be the cause of this

Are you aware of the camber bolt on the strut??
If not there is a camber bolt on the top that if you rotate will bring the top of the wheel in or out. If may have put it back in the wring hole.

Thanks Dylan, but it is the right hole and it has been to Melvyn Evans for alignment of sorts but that's another thing. If you look down the car from the rear each side in turn you can clearly see that the n/s wheel is out further than the o/s. It probably is down to the setup they did, he faffed about for 2hrs and it still wasn't spot on.

Is there an aftermarket bottom wishbone or ball joint on it??
This happened to my corsa. The ball joint was a poor copy and made my wheel stick out.
If not then I'm all out of ideas.
