think it could be the lca?

I bought the car this way about 8 months ago and it was just sitting, just started getting to it recently and didnt notice the wheel issue til after I lowered it and put the rims on. I dont think its the wrong axle but I suppose thats a possibilty...


any other ideas?

may be the tie rods need adjusting - it has a lot of toe-out - is it the stock suspension?

its just the front passenger wheel that seems to be out of whack.

it is stock suspension aside from coilovers sleeves I put on to see what kind of drop it would give

if it doesn't appear to have anything bent, like if it was hit hard on the passenger side, center up the steering wheel so that is half way between locked turning right and locked turning left - try adjusting the outer tie rod ends to straighten up the wheels

DEF an outer tie rod that needs to be adjusted. Was prob changed and not adjusted right. Just loosen the lock nut and turn it in lots more inward. You should compare it to the other side!!!

lol actually the whole front end is sitting in the garage with the car, but no thats not what is missing.

they do kinda look like monster trck tires but really they are only 16"

anyway, ill try adjusting the tie rods with the way that was previously suggested. Cross your fingers for me cause almost everything on this car is in terrible shape and doesnt work, so I'm hoping this fixes the issue

Yup do the tie rod adjustment, eyeball it to get it straight enough, then drive it to a shop to get the alignment done...or do a DIY alignment, which sometimes yields better results than computerized alignment...most shops don't calibrate their computer often...and trust me it's nowhere near often...like every 10 years lol...
