I've noticed that one of my wheels is significantly further back in the wheel well that the other. The alignment is not off though just the wheel looks like it's been moved back a few inches. Is this caused by a messed up tension rod? If so should I get a new OEM one or and aftermarket adjustable one. Thanks

Upon further review my LCA looks messed up too. Do you guys thing if I get a new LCA and tension rod it'll fix my problem?

Yeah if suspension components look messed up you really should fix that.It's kinda like walking to the doctor with the bone sticking out your leg, "Doc does this look bad".

you don't want your suspension to fail. Replace the parts, get the car realigned and you should be good.

Found out that it is the front LCA on the driver's side I can't find one to save my life though . I really need one so that I can drive up to formula d on saturday even though I think I could make it up there with this one. I just don't like driving it like this.
