Not 100% sure I need this yet, but after replacing my standard 16's with a slightly larger and much wider set of 18's I've noticed that my drivers side front wheel was rubbing the inner arch on turning.

On inspection, the wheel is 3cm closer to the rear of the arch than it should be!

I need to get the car off the ground to have a proper look and measure but preying its a bent wishbone rather than a crash damaged chassis.

The annoying thing is that the previous owner must have known as the tracking has been adjusted to keep it driving in a straight line.

So at the moment all I need is everyone that is breaking a Zed to give me the best price for the wishbone delivered (as I am very skint at the moment) and I will hurry up and find out for sure if its the wishbone or the chassis.

If you cover the postage mate I can send you one

That would be great mate! I am hopefully going to be having a look tomorrow so will let you know sure sure asap.

in the mean time have some rep!

Yikes that's quite out! Caster is non adjustable unless you have adjustable tension rods.

The lower arm would need to be very bent to allow the wheel back 3cm and then surely it would break at the tension rod connection points.

Hopefully its just the arm though - good luck.

Hopefully going to get to have a look tomorrow to see what's what.

If its a bent component then great, if its a bent chassis then my poor series 3 will be getting broken for parts :(

How did you get on today mate?

Didn't actually get a chance to look :(

Instead i was roped into a cold seaside visit with my son and nephew.

Hopefully I will get to have a look during the week at some point so will keep you informed asap mate.

No worries mate, I have the wishbone and tie rod ready to go should you need it
