    wheel allignment

    So today i lowered the car a bit with adjustable coilovers and just noticed that my right front tire is sitting closer to the back of the wheel well. all other tires are good but just the right front is not centered. Do i just need the caster adjusted or could i be in need of a lower control arm? Whats the usual cause of this and what are ways of checking to see what it is that i need. thanks!

    when i hit a curb and took it to an alignment shop they told me the only thing wrong was damaged tension rods, the oem bushings aren't very good. replaced with with KTS adjustable tension rods (which allow you to adjust castor) and that brought my wheel back to the center of the well.

    So before you go replacing the whole lower control arm, check the bushings on your tension rods, if they are really cracked and leaking replace those. even if they aren't damaged replacing them gives you the ability to adjust.

    i already put adjustable tensioning rods in. So im guessing the shop just didnt align them right? I am going back to the shop that did the allignment and seeing if thats all it is.
