Tires 185 65 R15 Question: The rear camber on my rear wheels measures equal, yet when I reach up in the wheel well and try to feel the space between the tire and the side of the trunk body, it is not equal. On the driver side I can get my hand into the space up to my knuckles, but on the passenger side only to the 2nd joint of my fingers. Is the body of the trunk non-symmetrical by design, or is something else going on here? Input appreciated. Osnabruck914 |
