Uneven poke?

alright guys, I have the drag dr31s, +17 offset. Everythings good in the rear of the car. In the front, the driver side has about a half inch more tire showing if you look down the side of the car, compared to the passenger side. Im not talking about uneven camber. Its like one wheel has more offset than the other, but the wheels are the same offset. I have no spacers, and If the camber is adjusted equal on both sides, one wheel pokes and one wheels flush. Im stumped. My car was victim of a hit and run, and it was hit on the drivers side while it was parked. I was thinking possibly something got shifted and the cars now off center? But if so, i figured the rear of the car would be having the same issues. Should i get a spacer for the passenger front only?

I know you said it's not camber, but that was my problem with the front. Installed camber bolts and evened it out. So I'm just throwing that out there. Are you running any camber adjustments up front?

yep. I had camber bolts up top, both adjusted full negative, and one side was flush and on was poked, so i added more positive to the one side to get the poke even on both sides, and now the passenger side has less camber... I know that sounds confusing.

You sure your adjusting them right? Make sure the tab on the washer is pointing inwards towards your engine bay, same goes for the arrow on the cam adjustment bolt. Then tighten it up so everything is sung, then place a jack underneath the tire. Jacking it up slightly will cause your suspension too shift making sure you have true max camber...Then tighten everything back up.
This is the way I've been adjusting mine.

wheels are all stamped +17, i measured and they are indeed +17.. I think it might have been a toe issue on one wheel, making it look like it was sticking out more when it was really toed in, causing that side to show more tire. Camber bolts were installed correctly. Im probably just being a perfectionist lol

I'm in agreement with this, IDK how bad the hit was on your car though. If the car hasn't been in for an alignment, do that. Shadetree alignment won't tell you if the body panel's off or something else since you don't have actual numbers to look at.
