Default Front tire off center

How you doing everybody? Well new to the group and to owning a Honda. Just bought a 90 Accord EX coupe from the original owners and just had a quick question. I just changed the CV Shaft and Sway bar links on it and noticed that before i even started to do anything that the left front tire is not perfectly centered in the wheel well. The right side is centered perfectly but the left one sits back closer to the fender. Supposedly the car has never been wrecked. It steers straight and doesnt wander going down the road. The sway bar links were so bad that the bolt rubbed a notch into the sway bar. I was hoping that maybe that had something to do with it but not sure. Any feed back would be awesome.

Default Re: Front tire off center

it could be a caster issue however maybe it is just the fender that is off which may create the off center illusion?

but if the bolt is rubbing against the sway, it is definitely not centered. id check for bent components.
