If the alignment can be adjusted to spec, then your suspension/subframe should be good. Are you basing the tire sticking out by using the bumper as a reference point? Cuz its more likely the bodywork not being perfect rather than your suspension having something bent.

Not saying this is your problem, however my left rear wheel looked like it stuck out a good inch more then the right side. After looking hard from the rear, I noticed the problem. The left side of the back bumper had a scrape down the side of it which in turn, the force must of pushed the bumper tab over a bit. All it took for me was to apply some pressure and bend it back and now it looks perfectly symetrical. Again, im not saying this is your issue, but it could be a possibility.

ok i got a place to do it but i still got the same problem.. check the specs



wow.. they didnt even do jack shit.. they just adjusted your toe. .. i hate alignment shops that just puts it in the green and let it go.. or some just set the toe and let it go.. got to look at the numbers not the color.. not saying im an expert at alignments but those numbers from left to right are not even close

i doubt my bumper is a problem.. im leaning towards the subframe.. my guess was the impact from the accident shifted the subframe over a tad bit.

from the accident pic, it looks like the back wheel was pushing the underside of your rear bumper out.....thus resulting in the possibility for the bottom of the bumper shifting to the right and making it "seem" like your left sticks out more then your right.

Just go stand back fairly far and look to see if the bumper is symetrical. Just to make sure.

its not the bumper because when the advans are on it will rub on the left side.. sticking outside the car more than the right.. and the right side will have plenty of space to travel without rubbing

the print out looks ok. just need some minor adjustment. IMO if they could even out the rear camber it would look alot better.
you might have slight drift to the right accroding to that print out.
no i don't think you need a subframe in the rear.
