Good morning. There is a bright orange yellow orb in the sky over Southern California right now. Quite welcome to see it, but I digress.
The 1974 Arizona car has uneven tire to fender clearance from side to side. The tires are the same make and size, it has the same rims on it, but I have about one fingers worth of clearance on the driver side to the tire wall but basically none on the passenger side. I don’t have a history on the car but the tub is straight and does not evidence any accidents. I haven’t put the car up on a rack to check the alignment but it doesn’t look like the rear camber is noticeably different from side to side. Any ideas to share? Thanks! |

maybe something to check, since car history is not available, is see if the fenders were adjusted for wider tires at some point. I installed wider track tires on my car and had to use a broom stick handle to gain some room. I just rolled the handle between the tire and fender to roll the inner lip up. maybe this was done on one or both sides?
