Ok well guys.... I will start off with saying that ive been lurking here for a few years... till I finally got my S2K 3 months ago... ive done MANY MANY searches and just want to state my on case here and hear your guys opinion....

So apparently I have the common SOMETHING bent issue... Passenger rear tire sticks out more than the Driver rear tire...
Ive read many things and The first thing I checked was the Subframe shifting issue... indeed it was shifted, fixed this... tire got a LITTLE better (meaning) passenger side poke went down a bit... but still sticks out, and driver side is totally tucked...

I know that other options may be the knuckle or the LCA... But I live in Dominican Republic I have to pay DOUBLE shipping of everything I buy in the states (shipping to Miami, and then shipping to my country).. and also I have to change local currency to dolars in order to buy... so anything I buy I actually hay to pay pretty expensive... wait an extra week, so I cant really afford to buy things without proper verifying to make shure I order whats really damaged, I NEED YOUR HELP, GUYS

Facts:
- Previous Owner did have a collision on driver rear.. with a curb...
- Wheels are 17x9.5 Advan RG's so I guess they shoud stick out a little instead of tucking the wheel... right?

Questions:
- How do I make shure its the knuckle or the LCA...
- In case of either part... do I have to buy the passenger side (the tire that sticks out) or the drivers side (the side that the wheel is tucked) Also like in other post.... tucked side looks lower than the side that sticks out... (this is measuring fender to tire distance)
Tomorrow ill post pics..

No idea, might be better to get a local mechanic to check it out.

View from the front....


View from front.... I put thinner tires and now it looks the same height

What are the complete wheel and tire specs? Also, have you confirmed that the wheel alignment is the same on both rear wheels?

You mention the previous owner had a collision. Did they do any body work? If so, I'd take some measurements on the quarter panel and compare to the passenger side, as it might be off a tad. Doesn't take much when you get aggressive wheel sizing to see body work flaws.

Check every wheel spec. Check your frame. Never buy a damaged s again. It's cheaper to buy but u pay in the end

It almost looks as if one wheel has a spacer and the other doesn't.

Alignment specs will help.

I think that the knuckle is generally the first thing to bend, but that doesn't mean LCA's or UCA's aren't bent either. I would start with the knuckle and see if it'll align after changing. If so you're probably ok. If after changing everything is still FUBAR, then try the LCA.
