Has anyone noticed their passenger rear wheel being 2-3mm inward compared to driver side rear? I am running the exact same offsets on both sides obviously.. Mabye I jacked up the rear axle at some point..
Anyone else come across this issue? It's driving me nuts. I am so OCD about it... My drivers side is perfect fitment and my pass side is slightly less flush!
I suppose this is the correct forum. It is suspension related.

i would pm jeffie he knows all about these things
mine is this way on the front...i have torn down measured, aligned and rebuilt and realigned and gotten new parts 238904572039485729038457290384 times, but my passenger side front wheel is a like 7-10 mm out farther then my drivers side.

I swear I hate these cars sometimes.
I am good upfront. Although for some reason I have visibly more camber on my drivers side. I don't have adjustable camber plates yet but everytime I touch the suspension I try to "set" the cambers accordingly when bolting the knuckle to the strut. Even though the stock bolts have little play.
Jesus man.. You serious on the 7-10mm difference?? Subframe ever been removed? Thats my first guess.. Come to think of it.. thats probably my front camber issue.

7-10mm seems crazy..
but jay no clue man.. Guess I'm going to be measuring my car out. What are you measuring to? quarter panels or like frame? waiting on some 10mm spacers for the rear but if thats the case i may need some 13mm spacers for one side lol
yea man, rears always out to the pass. side. never measured, but me, adam and wayde always had more fender lip rubbing problems on the right
Mines out to the drivers side... Strange! Glad others share my issue though.
I'm honestly just guessing it's 2-3mm off. It's visible when you concentrate on the fitment and I have been using a straight edge from the 1/4 to the sidewall (holding it up and down) to see the angle in or outward. Almost like using a plumb bob to check fitment. Probably going to make a plumb bob to measure it out and adjust accordingly.

worn torsion beam bushings perhaps?
Mines the same way in the rear,and the front drivers wheel sticks out more than the passenger.
Funny you made this post,I've been scratching my head the last week trying to figure out whats up.
my rear does this as well, noticed it one i had my air ride for the first few months.
thats what we get for owning cheap cars i guess... never paid attention to mine but im not really ocd about stuff like that....
lol, had problems on both my old and the new cavlier. The rear rims were alright on both of them but the passanger front rim sticks out like 8-10mm further than the drivers one. I thought it was just something with my old car but both were like that.
Im going to keep this in mind when I order spacers. *Goes out to measure the car*
lol wow... never even thought to measure before.
180hp in 1989 or 145hp in 2002, you decide. >
Lol you guys are all on crack, just check your damn tire pressure, maybe thats off

I have more clearance on the passenger side front and back. The driver side rubs a lot more when I'm layed out.

my volkswagen has the same problem. apparently it's fairly common on cars that have a rear beam.

I'm sure its 100% rear beam related.. I'll have to measure my brother's 337 sometime this week and see how off it is.
Update: Installed a 3mm spacer behind my 20mm spacer on right side only (all hubcentric). Everything lines up fine now. I am pleased with the total outcome. Looks great even with stock 1/4 panel lips 100% untouched.
