Icon2 subframe shift?

hey guys today i was leaving the local mall when a group of guys were talking to me about my s2000, they pointed out that my driver side wheel sticks out a little more then my passenger side, they said that my subframe may have shifted and that i should get it adjusted...

has anyone ever had this said or known about this? any input would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advanced

Did they also warn you about muffler bearings? A loose subframe that can be eyeballed should result in very poor handling.

im not totally sure about the ap1.. but i have shifted the subframe on my em1 before.. and it can shift quiet a bit... it is possible..

or maybe ur car was smashed before and the fenders are off? who knows.. go throw the car on an alignment rack it will show.

when you install wheel spacers, you are supposed to put them on both sides.. else the ricers will think your subframe shifted..
