offset rear end

[Baby Zilla S14]

well a few weeks back i got a pair of meshies from my buddy i love em. well i was showin them off to a co-worker and i noticed that my back passenger side wheel is sticking out passed my fender a bit and the driver side is shifted in. also the side that's pushed out is a little lower and now it rubs when i hit dips when it didn't a few days ago. when i got home i checked my coilover to look for leaks and stuff and i didn't find anything. Its not sticking out alot but i can see the start pf the tred when all i could see before was the side wall, nice and flush. Im not sure what i could be but i got a road trip to D1 in a few weeks and i got fix this before then ( 300 miles away ) Has anyone else ran into this before any info would be great.

alignment?

or bent subframe?

Subframe is the only thing I can think of. Have it checked or someone that really knows frames check it out and see if they cant decide on what it is.

do you really think its the alignment?? that wouldnt shift the rear end would it??? how much do you guys think a new subframe would cost??

It is not alignment. I can tell you that right off the bat. Are you sure the offsets of the wheels are the same? Believe it or not, that can be a common mistake.

Are the tyre sizes the same? This can result in a different diameter, causing the height difference. Look at the tyre sizes, and make sure they are exactly the same. Also do this with the wheels, just in case.

well the tire and offsets are the same. which alignment arm would push the whole tire out???

my subframes bent and i have the same issues, although mine got bent when i went sideways into a kerb, they dont just bend over time....

Its normal idk know why. 2 of my past cars where like that, subframes where not bent, there is even a thread on zilvia with tons of people saying the same thing. Just get a spacer.

Just a thought . Could worn out subframe bushings allow enough play for it to throw off the aligment like that? Side to side play causing it to look like one side is out further then the other.

THats what i was thinking idk but it sounds good. i just dont wanna tear my subframe apart if thats not it

[aceofspds]

allot of guys on the other board experienced the same thing, i think most of the guys just did a more agressive fender roll on one side.

I would definitely check bushings.
