One wheel sticks out further then the other???
Hey everyone! I have a little issue. I just noticed that my rear left wheel sticks out further then my rear right wheel... I installed H&R 20 mm spacers a while back and I dont think I had the issue back then. I have not hit anything or driven over any pot holes. The car is also smooth and goes in a straight line, so the drivability is not affected at all I believe.

Anybody has any ideas??

Thanks! You think that would be covered under warranty?

Manufacturing tolerances on both the car and the spacers come into play here. Eyeballing it is deceiving. Post pics.

Might be a subframe bolt. Mine did the same thing when one of my bolts snapped.

This sounds like the lower control arm, might of got out of shape? Bad pot holes? I remember checking your wheel there's no movement at all and all bolts look fine. I would ignore it for the time you have your car, or if it really worries you bring it to the dealer but they might NOT cover it under warranty. Depends on the dealer and what they blame it on...

Same issue was on my S500 but it was the shocks + rear level sensor and it was also making creaking noises over bumps, do you have that?
