    wheel to fender problem 1970

    The short version: With the wheels straight ahead there's a good 1/2" clearance more at the back of the left wheel to lower wheel well flare than on the right. Noticed this when I changed to a wider tire and it rubbed on right turns. Any idea on what to check? Alignment? Control arms fine. The shims are the ones that were there in 73. Is there even an adjustment to make up for that much of a difference? Or should I consider a body/frame problem?

    Any good vette aligment shops in the Jersey shore area? (Think thats my 10 questions for the day). Dennis

    Dennis You may not have any problem with the 1/2 difference. Back in 70 this may have been OK to ship as I have seen more with a difference than without. Lyle

      Are there any adjustments or shims to improve the alignment? Thanks Dennis

        If the problem is the body made a little off then their is no adjustment. A bad repair of a fender can be the problem. If the frame or a arms are bent then it can be fixed. Lyle
