rear passenger wheel sits too far back..
 

I have looked all over Google and have yet to find an answer..

So my problem is, is that, my wheel sits about an Inch further back than where it should/used to.
I have been told that it could be bad subframe bushings.. So I Bought solid spl bushings.(have yet to install)
And I have been told it could be a bad hub.. So I bought a hub today. Waiting for it to get here..

If anyone has dealt with this or might know why I would appreciate the input.. Shit is killing me.

Do you have aftermarket arms? Traction arm is the first thing that pops in my head that could cause your caster to shift. That or something like the A-arm is bent or the whole subframe is bent so the A-arm is shifted.

That was my first thought as well.. But was quickly shot down by friends.. I have cusco ruca and toe rods. Stock tractions though.

This recently became a problem. I have had the car for about 2 years now and a few months back It caught my eye.. Looked at a few pictures a few weeks prior to finding it and it was normal. I guess I should have bought some traction rods to debunk it.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Did you double check your alignment first? I'd start with that to see where your caster is at. I know once you get close to tire tucking the rear tires, the stock traction rod starts being an issue.

Photos of said wheel and your suspension would be helpful.

Uhhhhhhh have you smashed into anything recently? My bet is something is bent. Put the car up in the air and do a thorough inspection of all arms.

No. Haven't hit or smashed into anything.
I might just replace the call joints in an extra pair of rlca and see if that fixes anything.

rear passenger wheel sits too far back..
 

It looks exactly the same to me

I see it now dude.

Only thing could bent arm. Traction rod as previously stated or maybe knackered subframe bushes or arm bushes

bent knuckle maybe?

Yeah possibly both of my rear knuckles were cracked at the bottom. So definitely check them too

did you try maybe.. looking at your suspension and seeing whats bent, broke, worn or shifted?

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit

it really is...

But highly necessary considering the vast number of lesser beings on this forum.

maybe the hubs were installed backwards


that happened to me one time

Never thought of that but I will check asap

I'll check. Thanks

Oh. So what you are telling me is that, I'm supposed to jack my car up and actually look at my suspension. Are you sure that looking at it will help me............... :wtf:

Definitely not backwards.

Hi, did you ever fix this problem with the wheel sitting further back?
I have the same problem
