WTF shifted rear end

[Baby Zilla S14]

IM going to post here cuz nobody looks at the tech section i guess please dont hate :spank:. well a few weeks back i got a pair of meshies from my buddy i love em. well i was showin them off to a co-worker and i noticed that my back passenger side wheel is sticking out passed my fender a bit and the driver side is shifted in. http://images.nicoclub.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif http://images.nicoclub.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif also the side that's pushed out is a little lower and now it rubs when i hit dips when it didn't a few days ago. when i got home i checked my coilover to look for leaks and stuff and i didn't find anything. Its not sticking out alot but i can see the start pf the tred when all i could see before was the side wall, nice and flush. Im not sure what i could be but i got a road trip to D1 in a few weeks and i got fix this before then ( 300 miles away ) Has anyone else ran into this before any info would be great. http://images.nicoclub.com/forums/images/smilies/bowdown.gif http://images.nicoclub.com/forums/images/smilies/bowdown.gif http://images.nicoclub.com/forums/images/smilies/bowdown.gif http://images.nicoclub.com/forums/images/smilies/bowdown.gif

i went and looked and the offset is 0 on both and both tires are the same shit man what could it be. i do have full adjustable arms in the rear could that really offset the tire???

I have actually noticed that most 240's are like that. I had to pull my 1/4 panel more on the driver's side then the passenger's on mine and have heard multiple people complaining about the same thing. I have heard s-14 owners having the same problem, but on opposite sides of the car as well. I think it is kinda normal.

hmmm I have never noticed that. If it is true I should be able to see the difference with any wheels, including steelies. I'll have to check after work, oh hell, I'll go check now lol :wtf:

my Z33 is like that...im not sure if its just mine but my driver side needs a little bit of a pull vs just a mild roll on the pass side.

[smelly240]

i run a 5mm spacer on the right rear.

[brndck]

it is common among s-chassis.

i've rolled quite a few fenders and it seems to be a common occurrance, but usually its very minor and hard to detect unless you're looking very closely. if you don't have subframe spacers/bushings it is possible that the subframe has shifted slightly to one side. (i have seen this happen before and it made a 5mm difference between sides).

haha
yeaaaaa
recently put some new rims/tires on my brother kouki, and the drivers side sticks out more then the passenger. had to pull the drivers side about 5mm, still rubbing a lil bit. passenger side is only rolled.
:/ meh. not a big deal.

[az_240]

I have the same problem on my Kouki in the front end. Very minor but I do have to run a spacer.

[red240]

Same here, drivers side out on my hatch!

well that makes me feel better a little but i also talked to a co worker who went to uti for ford i know its not a 240sx but they have multiy link suspension and he said it may be a diff mount... could that shift things over... i havent changed any on my bushings or mounts yet.... how can i check without takeing my car apart and do i have too
