Tire spacing
Just installing my slicks and I noticed that there is less space in front of one tire than the other. They fill the wheel well a lot more than my dr's. Any suggestions, I have been thinking there is no adjustment for the spacing so I might have to add shims to the tight side.
Thanks
Fred

I just happen to have spare control arms with new bushings so I am going to put them on this morning. I did have more toe in on that side but I have already taken care of that. The slicks are 28X10X15. Thanks for the reply's guys, I will keep you posted.

Nothing should stop you from hitting the 11's now.
You emailed me and said that you might need me to bring one of your slicks to the track for you when we go.
Fred, you were in my car. Where would I be able to put a tire?
Maybe I could leave my spare at home and hang it under that back.
Too bad you don't have a set of street tires. I would make you an offer on your drag radials.

Took it to the local roundy round garage and the mechanic raised it up and showed me some bent parts. (The other shop would not let anyone go in their work area).. Go to a good shop where you can inspect the work also. I was out about 60.00 for hte alignment and about 200.00 for bent parts. And then I had to go and get it redone but I did not go back to the first shop.
