Rear tires/axle misaligned -- a congenital defect or poor bodywork?

[BBVX]

Zeus beat me to it.

My VX isn't lifted... Also, I have not adjusted the torsion, although I intend to do so this week to raise it at least 1" inch to accommodate the larger tires.

Thanks, Zeus and BBVX, for the information. I'll maybe have the dealer check it out. I have not noticed any drive problems, although the last set of tires (Pirelli 285/55/R18) wore very unevenly in the end (after the July 2004 accident). I don't want the new set to wear unevenly -- although I have had them aligned last week as well. Also, I do notice the 2" shift and it doesn't look good, so if it's not expensive to fix, I think I'll go ahead and just get 'er done.

Or maybe I'll fight with the shop that did the original work in July-August 2004 and see if they'll be square with me and fix it right.

Well, on the VX, it's called a 'lateral rod' and it's non-adjustable, sorry Grant. Sound's like you or who ever paid for the body work didn't get their monies worth

Hey Grant,

Been a long time - didn't think you still had your proton. Good to hear from you and I hope you troubles get resovled quickly and painlessly.

Well it looks to me like the right tire is wider than the left,i measured it from the split pic on my monitor and the right is wider then the left i dunno maybe im cooky or sumpin.

I woud look at the numbers on all the tires and make sure they all match and if they do i would measure the tires myself cause u never know these days.

[etlsport]

if u measure the reflectors in the split pic, they are different sizes too.. its just the difference in how close the camera was

Mine is like this in the front. Always wondered why.
