eg control arm problem?

[j0nn0]

Hey,

My front left entire wheel is about 1.5 inches pushed back compared to the front right one.

Probably past owner hit a kerb or a had a accident (F#&kn n00b).

People telling me its my control arms, I lifted it up totaly to have a look myself and I couldnt see any visible damage.

Has anyone had this problem before?
Anyone know what part it is?

+ if anyone knows a decent place to go that will actually know what they are doing and fix the problem and not bullshit me.

Thanks

take it to pedders/reputable alignment shop and ask them what you have just said above. they will be able to diagnose the problem rather than e-mechanics. and if your still in doubt take it to a second shop to get a second opinion.

This is a common problem on all eg's. Most dont know or wouldnt be able to tell because they get wheel alignments done and the mechanics have no idea or dont bother telling you.

It is the bushings on the lca's that require changing. You can change the lca's on your car and you will notice a difference, it will either at least sit a bit forward or stay the same.

Ah ok.

I have been told a few different things.

Thanks for that!
