[wolfwood]

hey all i have a bit of a problem with my cefiro,

for some reason at the rear passenger side the wheel sites a lot further in the guard than the drivers side. wtf.....

ill post up pics in a bit.

thanks ben

Passengers side:

Different camber on either side I'd guess, either from wheel alignment being up to shit, or something being bent. That or the flare's aren't even.

[Nic_A31]

What he said ^^

The camber does look different.

Measure the distances between

Wheels to other wheels, flares, diff, chassis, etc

Hopefully it isnt uneven and just the camber, or a spacer or something ?

[wolfwood]

flares are even, all been messured and all that shit. um i know the camber is off but i dont think adjusting camber is gonna move it that much.

guess i should take it to suspention mod and see if they can fix it all...

more money sigh.

Measure the distance from the diff to the chassis or wheel (both top and bottom) on each side?

Don't Pedders do an alignment check for $14 ? or is that just here in Perth .. ?

Measure the distance from the diff to the chassis or wheel (both top and bottom) on each side?

Me likes a lot!

Any progress? I have a similar problem. I set my coilovers to the same height yet 1 side sits higher, looks like it sits further out the guard, has 0deg camber and a couple mm toe out (as opposed to the other side a couple degs neg camber and slight toe in). Hopefully going to fix it all with adjustable arms, but makes me worried something like the cradle is bent.

Can I ask what size tyres/wheels you have on the rear and how much guard work went into it?

[wolfwood]

rear is 19x10.5 front is 18x9.5

unsure of wat the ofsets are.

no progress as yet, need tax return.

then just gonna take it to shop, so over f**king around with it.

i get it too man, to a lesser extent tho. ive change a lot of stuff on my car and it's never changed how the 2 sit relative to eachother. thinking it might be a chassis issue, as ive even changed the subframe and it still sits the same.

[Conrad 2NR]

Ever got that offset?

Fender work?

[Angr33_Sparcorella]

WOW, got dish much??!!

[wolfwood]

not sure wat the offset is, car went into shop tiday to see if they can fix the problem adn get some other bits and peices done, ill let you's know the verdict when i know

that looks like a massive difference when you see pictures of the whole car! . a mate of mine has this problem with his 32 (same subframe/suspension) , we changed heaps of stuff , we got it close(er) and just started using a small spacer (3mm for him , but it was 6 which looked about as bad as yours) . are you using subframe lock washer thingys? (pinapples?), loosen them and see if you can shift the subframe across at all (usually a sign of stuffed bushes) . new lca bushes and a good wheel alignment is about the most effective we found so far

[wolfwood]

yer all the bushes are shagged, squeak like a mofo. car has gone into shop and they are gonna replace bushes and align suspension all up. hopefully they will find the problem.

[wolfwood]

hmm so yer car didnt go to shop, some1 tell me where i can go to get this sorted and replaces bushes etc??????????

plz some1 help as i need to get car on the road.
