Can S13 crossmembers shift side to side? One of my wheels are sticking out

Urgh, got an annoying problem.

One wheel looks like its got a spacer on it, sticks out further out.

I changed the LCAs and no difference. I checked the steering arms, coils, caster and all is fine.

Some alignment guy told me he needs to "adjust the crossmember" and knock it a bit to the other side to even things out.

Any ideas?

The cross member just line's up to studs. There's clearance but not enough to make a noticeable look like one side would have a spacer on. Car ever been in an accident?

S13s are notorious for that. Could have been wrecked before and frame is tweaked.

Also, if your chassis harness (under driver fender) has been relocated up more to accommodate big wheels/tires and lowness your fender will bulge out more than the pass side making it look like one wheel is sunken in more.

Could also be a tweak in the front end like ^he said.

Hey guys.

I did have a minor accident and I think you guys are right!

The front of the guard was hit so I think its been kinked in making the wheel more sunken in.

Its weird I never noticed until you guys mentioned it. I have a spare guard at home that needs painting but man those fenders are sooo flimsy lol.

Thanks for your input lads!
