yep, looks like the pass. side is farther back towards the fire wall than the drivers side. I dont know if it should be like that or not, but when you are lookin for something to be crooked you sometimes talk yourself into things. Good Luck

mine looked crooked too, then i realized the front end was tweaked a little bit from an accident. straightened out the radiator support and a couple other things and now everything lines up.

I have suspisions that the car has been side swiped somewhere in its past.. I will finish bolting up the x-members and suspension and see where it leaves me.

thanks for the feedback guys!
