daniel_g Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Front or rear ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 can only be rear lol.......yes adjustment of the panhard variety needs to happen to centralise Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 no lads front Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 are u serious,wow i stand corrected.NEVER seen this before on front,rear all the time. well firstly those wheels are way to wide j wise to be fitting on that,and as for them not being equal i can only think the wing is out more on one side thatll be my bet. do a measurement check from the wishbone pivot to the hub or disc.bet u they are equal and its the wings are different Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 where coilover bolts to hub there will be a bit of adjustment it could be that ? changed ball joint or lower arm recently? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay85 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Silly idea = spacer/different width wheel?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Looks like could be different offset wheels or spacer in one side.. What's the back like Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 yeah or that above,gota be a simple explination Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Either camber is miles out on one side or you have different offset or width wheels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 7j wheels with spacers, as stupid as this sounds i seen it a while ago as im building the car and it was the same with no spacers, but as it went back up on axle stands with no wheels on i completely forgot about it, where coilover bolts to hub there will be a bit of adjustment it could be that ? changed ball joint or lower arm recently? i dont think that will be enough to pull that back in though bud, and yeah had it all off :/no wheels are exactly the same checked that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 i have 2 sets of bottoms arm one from a gt and one from a glanza both sets have been powdercoated but i measured the front arm bush hole size before i fitted and they were the same, so dont think it can be a mix of the arms??

morgey Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Can you get a picture from in front of the car? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 I could mate just it's dark how come what you thinking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 just wanted to see if the cambers and out how far and see if there was any toe out on one side. could be something like the top mount is out 180 degrees, that with the shock to hub bolts could maybe put it that far out.just thinking of various things to check. try swapping the wheels over and see if its still the same or if the problem switches side. (offset is different on both wheels) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 The wheel aligment is all over the place as replaced everything bud, :/ still the same swapping the wheels mate tried thatdont know what else it could besomething is deffinelty not right Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 first thing i would try would be to double check the slack in the shock to hub bolts. See if that makes any improvement you may be surprised how much of a difference that makes. once youve tried that let us know what the results are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ok mate got a day off Thursday so will try it then mate Thanks for you help bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah mate I know, I'm fucking fuming!!! Pissing me right off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 put a straight edge across the back of the rim and measure down to the back of the wheel and measure the offset of the wheel just to double check Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Its not the wheels mate, or ths coilovers, when I had my old wheels and suspension it done it but as im building it I hasnt been used and its been back on axle stands for months so forgot about it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
