freakin noob question here
================================================== ========


im at workso i dont have access to my pics but its pretty simple to explain
the front left wheel is off center and is about 2-4 inches towards the front bumper, now that my ride is low it hits the wheel well anytime there is any force on the front. any idea what bar controls the front to back motion of the front wheels?

Your tension rod controls that.


Did you hit something? Do you have adjustable tension rods?

That would be your caster. It could also be a bent control arm.

Do you have aftermarket or stock arms? (tension rods)

when i first got my car i did hit something, that was on the right side though, this problem is on the left side, the only modifications to my suspension so far is strut tower bars and coilovers, the control arm and the lower strut bar were replaced a while back. but thats the right side

Well my advice is to go and get an alignment... they should be able to straighten it out or pinpoint the problem.

edit: but like murda-c said, the tension rod controls the front to back movement
