What would cause an uneven gap between the both sides of the front suspension (front arch and the tire)? Huh? Both sides have completely the same set up and tires.

I have recently had most of my front suspension renewed (last 6 months):

Billies
Eibach springs
Roller bearing wishbone bushes
Strut brace
etc.

I need to get my top mounts and bearing changed next. Could this be causing any oddnesses? Unsure

What is it like wheel to arch, or rather on the chassis to floor?

I haven't done any measurements just yet,been raining most of the day, but noticed that my drivers side has a slightly bigger gap than the passenger side.

I will have a look tomorrow night and try and get a measurement.

It looks to be approx. 5-10mm difference - between arch and tire.

Thank you for your help.

OK I will do Smile

Where's the best place to measure it from and to? For the front and back.

I just got to find somewhere dead flat now! TO be on the safe side.

I know when parked on my driveway one side sits higher than the other, and on most roads due to the camber on them ! May just be that ?

Best place for a flat floor is a multi-storey car park Thumbs up
