Default wheel positioned to far foward

Yesterday after I installed my head gasket, me and my buddy were sitten back, reflecting on a job well done, lol, I noticed that my front passenger wheel looked like It was positioned to forward. Like the wheel, the hub… everything was pulled forward. What would cause this, Im not sure if it has always been like that, or if something broke or f something is too tight in the suspension, but its not right, b/c the driver wheel seems like it is in the middle of the fender well. Before I pull this thing apart, are there any suggestions on what it could be?

Well the radius rods seem to be what controls the front to back position of the wheel on the ED/EF, do you have a stock front corssmember and radius rods or an aftermarket traction bar setup with adjustable radius rods?

If stock there is a chance the radius rod bushings are worn and should be replaced but I also believe you can adjust the stock radius rods by tightening/lossening the front nut but I never delt with that so can't say for sure

if after market then you can adjust them at the heim joints


Either way check for broken parts and then take your car to get an alignment

i had a feeling thats what it could have been, this afternoon im going to go ahead and jack it up and look at the condition of the radius rod bushings are in.

The cross member is stock along with the radius rods. the cross member has been notched out, but in tact. im going to check it shortly, thanks man
