Help! Front strut housings crooked.

I have a 92 240SX S13 and there is a problem with gap spacing between the lowest part of the coil spring base and the tire itself.

Please see pics below:


The right side distance from strut's lower base to tire is decent, about 1 inch fromt the tire..



However, the left side gap from the housing to tire is almost touching!



Anyone think they might know whats going on?

great answer! just get some new suspension so you can clear your new setup. nipples on tires give away new set.

btw: u better have 17" or 18" on that bish.
15" wheel + tire rub on strut = FAIL

A few possible reason is different strut manufactures, unmatched tire size, or a bent strut
