To be honest it was so long ago (about 4 years ago) I can't remember. I don't recall any obvious handling issues, it was just how it looked that brought my attention to it.

Well.... Swapped the lower control arm with another this evening, it made a slight difference in the arch, and I had a short drive there to the Chinese lol, and seems to have straightend the steering wheel,
Measurements from hub to hub on passenger is 2545mm
Measurements from hub to hub on drivers side is 2556mm
So tomorrow I'm swapping over the subframe with radius rods.
Also to pull the wheel forward do you just try and tighten the radius rod nut?? Or are there factory shims on the back of the rods that can be removed??

So I can put a shim on the front where the locking but is to pull it forward?? And if I wanted it rearward I'd put the shims on the back?
First I will swap frames and if nothing changes ill start adjusting.
What I have to make sure is if the rear hubs are completely centralised. Is there away to adjust caster on the rear?
