Hi Guys,

I have a 78 Camaro LT with a 383 in it.

Mr drivers side (left hand drive) rear wheel is not sitting in the centre of the wheel arch?!

I have my suspicions, and this it might be the leaf spring or axle but I'm not to tech minded.

Any Idea or advice would be welcomed.

Adam

You need to get under there and have a look or take a pic.

Those smudges on an otherwise clean tyre.......did you whack something ?

Could be a few things, definitely not right through.

1. Check the axle is located on the spring properly, there is a stud on the leaf that locate on the shock plate.
2. Check the spring mounts look the same both sides, front pockrts can bend or body behind rotten.
3.crash damage so mounting points could be buggered and misaligned..

Good luck !
