One tire sticks out more then the other?
One tire sticks out more then the other?
Title kind of says it all. I got a Camaro shell and swapped an engine in it, its an 86, originally berlinetta, with the rear drums. The P.O. put big old fat tires on the back of it and they stick out past the fender about 1 inch on the drivers side and are perfect on the pass side. I looked at the guys other Camaro with similar tires and it did the exact same thing! Is this normal and if not how do I fix it? Only thing I know is wrong with the rear suspension is a broken sway bar end link...
Thanks!
Thanks!

Probably an adjustable panhard to center the axle.

You'll need to buy one to get it centered. Mine was off even with stock wheels, stock sized tires & at stock height. Just couldn't tell until I put the wider tires on.One like...........http://www.umiperformance.com/catalo...kqi6o4krkil2u6

Nice, Thanks Guys! Ill take a look and see what it looks like. Hopefully its too long so I can just take it off and shorten it a bit, otherwise does anyone have a used adjustable one sitting around for sale?

After doing all that try lookin at the rear wheels even tho maybe they look the same one could have a lower off set makin it stick out more then the other.....its a long shot but its worth removing them to check before you spend money on suspension stuff

Yeah make sure you don't have two different rims. My experience is people do all kinds of stupid things w/ cars....
