Nose Adjustment

Is it possible that the front nose of my 76' is off center? The center of my front hubs are not centered in the fender well of the car. To my knowledge there is no damage to the frame (not bent) so I'm thinking it has something to do with the alignment of the body of the car. Does this sound possible? Another key factor is that when iturn the car to the right, my drivers side tire hits the front of the fender and the passenger side tire hits the rear of the fender ( Obviously the wheels arent centered in the fender wells) Can the problem be fixed with a few adjustments? If so, how can I do it?

you might want to get an alignment before you panic. The caster adjustment might be way off.

It's normal, don't worry. Only worry of the car doesn't go down the road straight or if there is huge difference in fender-to-door gaps.

You are not screwed.
