This has just started happening yikes

Something amiss with the rear suspension? Going to get the car up on a lift on Friday. Any ideas what to look for? Any known issues?

Quite, quite worrying.

Have you had a full alignment check done?

Not for well over a year. It like something has come loose, or has moved.

A bump to the rear suspension if its knocked the toe out of line could do it. More basic though, is tyre pressure correct?

Yeah, pressures are correct. First thing I checked.

Can get three full fingers between tyre and bumper on one side and two and a half on the other. Seems fairly out of whack, which would tie up with suddeness of the shift to the left under accel. That or the bumper's on p**sed.

could just be a Friday afternoon bumper Sure I read these Aussie car builders arent too fussed about getting the panels on evenly.
