All cars are like that not sure why but never seen a car that doesn't have one wheel in more than the other

Ive heard its due to the diff being slightly offcentre or the subframe it self being slightly offcentre.

Car manufacturers never expected owners to be running wheels so close to the guards that you can tell the difference haha

I don't understand how any of this makes sence, the allignment tools have Indipendang levels in them. If its out, it's out.. Unless there is some auto correction when you put the specific car in..

But birds what you said doesn't make sence because how are they going to compensate for fat dream boats like me?

I think what Alex and I are talking about is the offset of the wheels to guards. Majority of the time, one wheel will sit out more than the other side. The camber setting would probably be the same on both sides hence why one side would look slightly different in reference to the guard/body etc

i dont know, its friday.

Well when I got my car alligned at Centreline...and mind you I have adjustable poly bushes on just about the whole frikken car...they corner weighted it and alligned it so that with an ~80kg driver, there is a near 50/50 side to side weight distribution and the camber sits about the same on both sides. Sucks when you have a passenger and can tell the difference though...

This and what birds said I think the thing is off centre so even though the camber is the same the actual wheel position is out a little bit on one side even although the camber settings are the same.

Shitted me with the 33, but no two guards are rolled perfectly the same either which probably doesn't help

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
