Hi I need help as I can't seem to figure out why it's happening, but my front wheels (one side more than the other) are further foward than I think they should be.
It has new arms new suspension and powerflex all round.
I've checked it all over and I think it's the bushes that are doing it?

Are the the right arms for the 3dr?

As far as I am aware, they were checked with the old ones and measured etc and all matched up, but with the bushes they are a lot thicker than the original

ive got powerflex on mine but didn't make much difference to the position

Turns out I've got the wrong roll bar fitted to the car, ordered a new one and hoping it cures it properly

What do you mean by wrong roll bar? if it's the h14 type (as fitted to 2wd saph) you are speaking of its also correct for the 3 door as ford replaced the H13 front arb when customers returned complaining of twitchy handling

I'm not entirely sure what it's off to be honest, there isn't any markings on it, but it has to be the only thing that's making the wheels so far foward as I can't even get my little finger between the wheel and bumper

steppy

I only thought it could be a H14 arb because it gives a degree extra castor, meaning the wheels will be pushed further forward and it does get very close to the bumper when running 17s iirc the markings are on the drivers side of the arb just before it goes through the tca, what size wheels are you running?

Yeah That's what I thought as well have tried to see but can't see any markings might see something when I take it off, I'm running comp 17's and car is lowered. But it's the only thing I can of to make the wheels go further foward fingers crossed the h13 roll bar will solve it

steppy

The H13 will move the wheel backwards in the arch so it should sort it

2wd sapphire and 3door anti-rollbar is not the same. Sounds like you have anti-rollbar from sapphire.

I've seen the bumper being fitted squinty, and also a bent ARB causing this.
