[QUOTE="FGT, post: 3822195, member: 52115"] Hey guys, Just want to share this and see if any of you guys have the same problem. I used to have a corolla LE which is accident free (from thorough checking). The front left wheel sits a little wide compared to the right wheel. I replaced the ball joints, bearings and absorbers but still it's there. And yes, I went to skodeng other LEs also. I can say 8 out of 10 virgin/standard LEs have this problem. These are the effects of this: 1. Steering pull to the left when accelerating and going on bumps 2. Quicker tyre-wear on the left wheel Then, I went on to skodeng some standard SEGs also. Found two that have this problem but less obvious than the LEs. Now I'm starting to wonder if this is a factory defect as the gearbox is located on the left side and using the shorter drive shaft (Shorter = logically stiffer and better power transfer) compared to the right which uses the longer shaft. It is confusing because the wheel hub is fixed to the lower arm. How can the lower arm lari if the car has never been in an accident? Even more, what are the chances of a misaligned chassis on an accident free vehicle? Logically if the ball joints and absorbers are worn out, it will only affect the camber and not the offset. I'm no engineer and hope you guys can shed some light on this. Thank you!!! :) Cheers! [/QUOTE]
