misaligned fender

mrblueoval · October 1st, 2011, 05:37 PM

the front drivers side fender on my 91 LX sticks out towards the bottom much further than the edge of the door. Is there any way I can adjust the bottom of the fender to move inwards ?

Odd I have the same problem. I heard the hinge pins can cause it but mine are new. Now I wonder if the fender or door might be bowed.

Can you post a pick of the fender? Top of fender to door and lower fender to door and door to quarter panel top and bottom. Need any idea of total door to fender.

ok,
ill try and snap a pic

door to quarter is perfect,door to rocker is perfect,door to fender starts to misalign from about 1/2 way down.

it looks like someone crushed the seams underneath where the jacking point is

the jacking point is what it is in my opinion. my fender is the say way because of that. every time my ca car gets jacked up now, the fender comes way out, i have to "shove" it back in by hand

well i guess there are some fender bolts in that area but they must be under the plastic inner wheel well

1 bolt in that area. It is under the plastic. Im thinking i can just shim the lower hinge and fix it.
