Liam-R Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 If you take a look at that picture you will notice the front wheels are set back in the arches...By this I mean... They seem to be more to the rear of the arch. More gap at the front and I've noticed that when I turn slightly to the left my tyres rub... Ive got stretched tyres on to eliminate this problem but the wheels seem to far back. They have been like this since I bought the car but never really noticed it until I looked at an old pic of the car... Anyone have any ideas or come across this before?

Defcon5 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I would imagine its due the coilovers and the caster angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam-R Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hmmmm, what's the caster coil overs were already fitted when I got the car so could it be to someone not fitting them properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam-R Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I thought that max, but when I purchased the car it had front rake and the front end was the same... This is the day I purchased the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burningsextornado Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Similar to my gti, its simply the rear has been wound down further than the front, if its on coilovers just balance it out then get it tracked/ aligned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam-R Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I'll have to get them wound down then! Ive took the adjuster out the rear, but the threaded bottom is still in so can go lower... Didn't touch the fronts but they do need to come down. I'll have to adjust them then and get it all done!
