Suspension Issue

Car pulls to the left - took to local mechanic and he measured the wheelbase - front driver to rear driver, same on passenger and front driver to rear passenger (vice versa). Bascially driver front is off by about 15 mm. He suggested replacing the driver strut.

Did notice the gaps between strut on driver versus passenger is off about 1/2".

Sugestions?



driver strut





passenger





passenger gap - about 3/8"





driver gap about 3/4" gap.

Did you ever get this resolved? I'd be curious to see what kind of condition your , and your control arm bushings are in. If the car has ever had an impact, there could have been a shift in the subframe. A curb impact could also bend the steering knuckle or the strut itself.
