WTF shifted rear end

[Baby Zilla S14]

IM going to post here cuz nobody looks at the tech section i guess please dont hate . well a few weeks back i got a pair of meshies from my buddy i love em. well i was showin them off to a co-worker and i noticed that my back passenger side wheel is sticking out passed my fender a bit and the driver side is shifted in. also the side that's pushed out is a little lower and now it rubs when i hit dips when it didn't a few days ago. when i got home i checked my coilover to look for leaks and stuff and i didn't find anything. Its not sticking out alot but i can see the start pf the tred when all i could see before was the side wall, nice and flush. Im not sure what i could be but i got a road trip to D1 in a few weeks and i got fix this before then ( 300 miles away ) Has anyone else ran into this before any info would be great.

Look at the rims closey and confirm that they are the same size offset, all that good stuff, seen this happen to a friend that bougfht used rims, and lo and behold one rims had different specs.

i went and looked and the offset is 0 on both and both tires are the same shit man what could it be. i do have full adjustable arms in the rear could that really offset the tire???

I have actually noticed that most 240's are like that. I had to pull my 1/4 panel more on the driver's side then the passenger's on mine and have heard multiple people complaining about the same thing. I have heard s-14 owners having the same problem, but on opposite sides of the car as well. I think it is kinda normal.

hmmm I have never noticed that. If it is true I should be able to see the difference with any wheels, including steelies. I'll have to check after work, oh hell, I'll go check now lol

my Z33 is like that...im not sure if its just mine but my driver side needs a little bit of a pull vs just a mild roll on the pass side.

i run a 5mm spacer on the right rear.

[brndck]

it is common among s-chassis.

i've rolled quite a few fenders and it seems to be a common occurrance, but usually its very minor and hard to detect unless you're looking very closely. if you don't have subframe spacers/bushings it is possible that the subframe has shifted slightly to one side. (i have seen this happen before and it made a 5mm difference between sides).

haha
yeaaaaa
recently put some new rims/tires on my brother kouki, and the drivers side sticks out more then the passenger. had to pull the drivers side about 5mm, still rubbing a lil bit. passenger side is only rolled.
:/ meh. not a big deal.

[az_240]

I have the same problem on my Kouki in the front end. Very minor but I do have to run a spacer.

[red240]

Same here, drivers side out on my hatch!

well that makes me feel better a little but i also talked to a co worker who went to uti for ford i know its not a 240sx but they have multiy link suspension and he said it may be a diff mount... could that shift things over... i havent changed any on my bushings or mounts yet.... how can i check without takeing my car apart and do i have too
