Abdul 0 Posted July 4, 2010 Hi guys, had my 9s on all round on my valver for about 6 months now and i just noticed that the front passenger side wheel pokes about 10mm more than the drivers side.. its only on the front and the wheels are et15 all round... Any help would be appreciated. Abdul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stemid 0 Posted July 4, 2010 are your wings different? i.e one is early and one is late? i have the same problem due to replacing a rotten wing on my vr with an early style one :mad2: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted July 4, 2010 Nop wings are the same... if anything i might get 5-10mm or whatever amount is safe milled off the back of the rims.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No im dead serious, whats there to kid about? Ive done it before when the offsets are too low, had 4mm machined off the back of some oldschool rial wheels to decrease the poke a bit.

Jim 2 Posted July 4, 2010 Uhm... I'd be looking into why they're on the piss! Don't start machining the wheels! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted July 4, 2010 Uhm... I'd be looking into why they're on the piss! Don't start machining the wheels! Yeah but the wheels are all the same offset and the wings are the same so unless my front axle has decided to move :lol: i cant think of what else might cause the problem.

dukest 0 Posted July 4, 2010 how do you know for sure that the wings are the same? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stemid 0 Posted July 4, 2010 it must be the camber, surely? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted July 4, 2010 it must be the camber, surely? That must be what it is... but i had the rado laser aligned a few months ago... thats another £80 :( The wings are the same because they look the same lol. Early wings have far smaller arches. I went out to make sure the offsets are the same, the calipers and the back of the wheels have the same space on both sides. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stemid 0 Posted July 4, 2010 maybe the camber bolts weren't pinched up tight enough and the top of the wheel has moved outwards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted July 4, 2010 maybe the camber bolts weren't pinched up tight enough and the top of the wheel has moved outwards I hope its this and not the axel... hmm how much camber people? I want a combination of looks and grip.. -1.5 degress maybe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stemid 0 Posted July 4, 2010 well the front wheels aren't on an axle, they are on indivdual wishbones, and you would know about it if one of those had moved Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted July 4, 2010 well the front wheels aren't on an axle, they are on indivdual wishbones, and you would know about it if one of those had moved LOL im really not mechanically minded but yeah i know what dodgy wishbones feel like so its not those lol. Ok, trip to the laser alignment dudes this week i guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quicky1980 0 Posted July 4, 2010 my camber was checked recently and was told they are fine :shrug: We have broken corrados :cry: It does appear so :lol: but who hasnt I may not have the same issue as you but, I looked at both arches and both appear to be late spec, all bushes are new and subframe looks ok (just need to confirm), top mounts seem tight so Im out of ideas. Dont go changing et of the wheels this will screw up the handling, having one side tucked in more than the other isnt a biggy just annoying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daleyboy 0 Posted July 4, 2010 I dont know if your car is the same as a vr but the bottom ball joints have a bit of movement in/out so maybe this is where the 10mm comes from.......... :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry that read harsh but I didn't mean it to be. You need to fix the problem though Abdul, not the symptom. You ned to find where the 10mm comes from. I would start with the wishbones, the bushes may be fine on each one, but if one is bent upwards it' could still ride right, especially if it's been set up since it's been bent. Measure from the inner wishbone mounts to the outer ball joint on each one. Then measure from the inner wing to the outer wing to make sure they are the same. Check the bolts onto the subframe too.

daleyboy 0 Posted July 4, 2010 I thought (maybe wrongly) that there was a bit of in/out adjustment, its been a long time since i did mine so cant clearly remember.............im going for a sit on the stupid step...................i just remember the three bolts and getting the bolts in the middle of the elongated holes hence the adjustment, i didnt mean actual movement in the bbj.............. :wave: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
