My left wheel is setting further out from the car that the right side. My alignment is fine, but when I line the steering wheel at center the wheels look akward. The left one sticks out from the car like 2inches more than the other side.. Same size and brand tires on both sides and rim. I was thinking maybe its the control arm, my struts maybe? I didnt know what forumn to put it under so I put it in one I knew people would read. I'll get pics up if I can. __________________ MAC O/R H-Pipe, MAC Catback, 3.73 Gears, T-Lok, CAI, H&R Supersport Springs, Tokico Blue Shocks/Struts, MM CC Plates, Steeda Front + Rear Sway Bars.

Kind of obvious... but just making sure before people go more in depth.

Other than that, check to see if it has ever been in a wreck... __________________ 18" Chrome Saleens w/ Nexen Tires O/R H-Pipe w/ Flowmaster 40s Mach1 Grill Delete MSD 8.5mm wires Cold Air Intake 10k HIDs Coming soon!

Yeah I did and I hit the side that looks correct(right side) right now I don't have rims.. BLAHBASHDHW

How can I get it fixed if that is the problem?

=[ I am hoping it's not a outragous price to have it fixed ='[

I know that something is wrong with it and when I show it to people they say "your just being picky, it's only like 2 inches out" I am thinking WTF cars aren't supposed to do that! I was gonna get my new rims soon but now I know that if I get some they are gonna stick out past the fender and that will look wack!

Thats what I was thinking. A slided axel. But with that, the car wouldnt be aligned, and in my opinion, wouldnt be driveable.
