Can anyone help. My front drivers side wheel touches the inside of my wheel arch (bulkhead area and inner wing) yet my passenger side does not. It has never had a shunt, so what could it be.
Could it be a weak damper?
The car seems to sit slightly lower (closer to the wheel/tyre on the drivers side)
Anybody had this.
The steering wheel is centralised, so dont see how the rack can effect it.

Problem solved, apparently fairly common. I need to insert a collar in the bump stop on the track rod (factory sending in post)
It would seem I had the car on a slight slope, because the car on a level surface sits fine.

It was mentioned at Vegantune last week that the tell-tale sign of a failing top ball-joint is wear exactly where you are reporting it.
