I've noticed the left rear tire rubbing the fender on occasion.
The right has a little more than 1/2 inch of room. The left has less than 1/4 inch. Is this difference normal? Or an indication of a problem I should be looking into. 195x50 tires. No spacers. The car seems to sit level. Wheels are cambered and toed the same. |

Thanks for the replys.
Possibly related: I see that the rear-trunk shock mounts are not equal either. The right side has about 1/2 inch more shock thread showing than the left. Never fear - theres a stack of shimms on the right to make up for it. (even proper 914 shims)! I haven't taken anything apart to see why this would be done. |
