Rear wheel not centered in wheel well

[ravinaziankid]

Hi All,

I just put on coilovers and adjustable arms and just noticed now that the driver side wheel does not sit centered in the wheel well! I checked the passenger side and it is pretty much in the center - looks like ( ( ) ) while the driver side is more like (( ) ). I got it adjusted and it drives fine, but just do not like how it looks. Nothing is bent and all arms are new.. could it just be aligned correctly but caster is off?

Yup. Caster can push/pull the wheel for/aft. If your tension rods are stock, it could be due to a blown bushing. If they are aftermarket, then you need to get an alignment.

you replaced suspension parts, this usually calls for an alignment

i got it aligned right after, but since my alignment has 3 month warranty ill go back to have them do it right..

did you get an alingment after you installed the suspension arms? If not, that is your problem.

yep got it aligned right after installing coilovers and arms

Just noticed you are having problems with the rear.

I'd check out your suspension linkages.

What does the alignment sheet say?

Though most shops don't measure thrust.

The rear "caster" is controlled by the forward link, also known as the traction rod. That will affect the position of the wheel in the wheel well.
