Guys,

Just finishing putting my Road Race FD together...

Went for a driving around the block... On first right turn I noticed a weird sound coming from the fender and a locked steering wheel...

Parked aside and found my right fender looking like this...

Took the fender out at the street and drove back home... Then I noticed my right tire is slightly moved forward than the left tire...

On this measure, the right tire is at least 1cm closer to the front bumper than the left tire; that´s why it got caught on the fender...

This can be a dumb question, but... Is this a fixable alignment issue ?? An assembly issue ?? or a Lower Arm / Body issue ??

Please your feedback, am concern I built a race car over a twisted body...!!!

Thanks a lot..!!

Could be alignment has your car been wrecked before?

Could be bent lower arm or bent subframe if it's been hit or hit somthing with the tire I doubt your unibody is bent or diamond

Not that I know... As far as I remember it was ok before disassembly for racing... Or may be couldn't tell with stock fenders...

Don't you think is just
Alignement ?? Replacing any of above is a PITA...

FYI:
Camber/caster/toe are all adjustable up front, toe and camber in the rear.
Put it on a rack and ask for your caster spec. Looks like it's off. In the US, the right front should be no more than .5* ahead of the left front.

yes very true it's more then likely an alignment issue that hopefully will fix it and way cheaper lol

If you wheel is not centered it is most defiantly not an alignment issue but something is bent or out of whack. Take it to an alignment shop and have them measure everything. They should be able to narrow it down.

Actually, when you adjust the caster you can actually see the wheel moving fore and aft in the wheel well. More than likely your caster is different side to side.

I have never seen caster that adjustable on any car. Let us know the results!
