Hi to all
I have got a 1995 Vauxhall omega CDX 2.5 V6 auto estate, I have not long had the car, and have noticed a big problem. my left front wheel is just over 1 inch furter back than the right one, and the rim of the wheel has a big bend in it :'(, I only noticed this as I went to put new mud flaps on. i have took both front wheels of and can not see any thing bent. have you any Idears???? 8-)

Sounds like its been kerbed VERY hard :(
Suprised it still handles ok tho :-/
Sounds like a new wheel and replacement suspension/steering parts to me :(

Take a closer look at the chassis legs/subframe and check there's no damage signs ( bends or twists) as the car may have been in a nearside frontal accident and badly repaired. If you're still uncertain of what you're looking at, I would suggest popping it down to a local bodyshop and get them to check it out.
Cheers Pete

Thats a burger mate. :( When is it due for an MOT? Is it scrubbing the tyre out badly? My guess is that if not, then it will soon. Do you have a friendly MOT garage who could put it up in the air and have a good look underneath it to see what is bent?

There's a fair chance it's just the wishbone - they're just £20 each plus fitting.

Hi to all
Thank you for all of your help, the car only slightly pulls to the left, and I have had it up in the air and looked all underneath, and it all looks fine. so I am going to change both wish bone, first, and then go from there. Its MoT is due in November.
