my driver side wheel is sticking about an inch out from under the fender. Right side looks normal. Everything visually looks ok underneath, I dont know what it could be. If anyone has any ideas lemme know. thanks

I take it this is the rear, and that either these are 15" wheels, or if they're 16s, you've made sure they're both rears (not one front and one rear)...

Your Panhard bar is bent. Probably from curbing the car on the right side. It's astoundingly easy to do. You can be sliding sideways at 2 mph on ice and hit a curb, and it will corkscrew the Ph bar.

nope ive got the 16 inch crosslace wheels and its the front driver side wheel, it has stuck out a little since the day i bought the car, yet i didnt notice it till i got home. about a week ago i removed the a/c equipment and now the driver side is also sitting about an inch higher the the passenger side I dont think the a/c stuff weighed that much. does it?

its all because you hit that f*ckin tree! duh....nah, i dont even know y it does that either. unless the a/c **** wieghed that much that it made that much of a difference in the stance of the car.

I would do a major suspension tune-up , strust, springs , alignment , tierods etc...

but before you do that , have it checked for collision damage, I doubt it's frame damage as it would never drive straight with that much difference but who knows. maybe somoene managed to jury rig it back together so it somewhat drives ok

So have you looked at the wheels to see if it's a front or a rear? If they're 16s, they're offset different.... you may have 3 rears and 1 front or some such.

all the wheels are in the correct places. i put new tie rods on both sides, and a 1Le swaybar. i dont know what it could be. the car drives really stright never pulls or anything so im lost here.

The only other possibility is a bent body.

Put the front up on stands and take the wheels off; see if the flange on the rotor is the same on both sides.

This doesn't sound like that much of a big deal. It's probably the panhard bar causing the problem, especially if the car is lower than stock (saggy stock springs, drop springs, isolators removed, blah blah blah). I would say, rather than go nuts with replacing everything, take it to an alignment shop and see what they say. Get a second opinion if you want, also. If it is the panhard bar, get an aftermarket adjustable one, that way you can straighten out the rear. If it's collission-related or something else, well then it's a big deal. Good luck!

Probably not the Panhard bar.... at least, there's no Panhard bar on the front wheels of any of these cars that I've ever seen.

You're sure you have 2 front wheels, not 3 rears and a front? Or if the hub flange is the same distance in from the fenders on both sides?

same thing with my car my front right its leaning in while my front left its not its because someone changed the strut mounts and didn`t get the car aligned check your strut mounts
