    Rear end doenst sit the same

    Hey was wondering of anyone could help me I'm having troubles with working out why the back wheels sit so different from each side at the back, the right side sits further out by a lot and I've even put a 5mm spacer on the passenger side and still doesn't match, can't see anything bent at all, but one side the toe and camber arms have more thred showing. Also even put solid subframe mount bushes in as I thought it could be the bushes as they where dead and still nothing changed any ideas?

    It's probably a silly question but the wheels aren't different widths/offsets are they?

    Can you post some pictures of the arms, hubs and subframe?

    Wheels are all 9.5j et12 was the same with the skyline wheels previous just shows up more with the wider wheels, I'll try and get some when it's not raining, and you mention hubs are there different width hubs for these? As it hadn't long had one on the passenger side as the wheel bearing had gone

    I have seen this on quite a few 200's now, there appears to be a 10mm difference side to side, also present at the front.
    Its almost like Nissan couldn't fit the bodies square to the chassis, no idea why they did it like this though.

    Well in that case I'll just double check everything and wack a bigger spacer on to make it to even it up so I have the same roll on the arches when I do them then , cheers all

    Camber and Toe will affect how the wheels sit, so unless you've just had it aligned and know its bang on then I wouldn't worry

    Has anyone considered trying those solid subframe bushes with offset (i think GKtech have some or are planning to make them) that move the subframe to fix this?
