It was very easy to "eye ball" the driver side wheel being off center.... It was off by approx. an inch, front to back. So in other words, when looking at the drivers side wheel, it is aligned more towards the back of the front fender. On the passenger side wheel, I have a 2 finger gap between the tire and the back side of the wheel well, on the drivers side where as I have a 1 finger gap between the wheel well and the back of the wheel well. I made an adjustment on the control arm, which centered the wheel back to a 2 finger gap, however it did not stay in position once I drove the vehicle, the tire on the drivers side rubs on the back of the wheel well when I brake..... This being said, I ask again.... Could this mean that the bushing on the control arm needs to be replaced as it is not staying in the correct alignment???? Or are we talking about needing to take it to get the front end aligned???? I have been of the understanding that there is not much of an alignment needed for cars which McPherson Struts.

I would thank anyone who will answer my question and not make comments about "eye balling" whether the wheel is off center. If you have ever seen a wheel off by an inch, it is VERY obvious that it is off center. The question is WHY is it off center when the frame is not bent, none of the front end suspension parts appear to be bent and I made adjustments to the control arm that did bring the tire very "close" to being centered, however that adjustment did not hold once driven.

Thanks -
