Default please help, driver side and passenger side wheel gap different!


today i just noticed that my left side ( driver side front wheel ) wheel gap is a little ( maybe considerably ) higher than the passenger side. i had my suspension checked a while ago ( 2 months agao ) and they said that my left link pin bushing is missing, my right one is cracked, and both my driver upper ball joint and lower ball joints are bad. now, what im wondering is could the upper and lower ball joint being bad, and my link pin bushing being gone cause my driver side wheel gap to be higher than the passenger side? they also said that i should replace my tie rod end on the driver side. please help!

and i know for a fact that my tires are at the same pressure

I don't understand what you want help with.........you've just listed a paragraph of front end problems that all contribute to the lopsided car. We haven't even gotten to the struts and other items yet. The front end needs to be rebuilt which may exceed the value of the vehicle so shop around carefully.

*ROFL* as soon as I saw the topic to this thread I was going to ask if the car was on level ground... and the only reason I thought that first is because a few years back I fell victim to this exact same thing... I looked at my car and went Oh crap.... *LOL* I'm glad other people have the same problems I do....
