has anyone got a pic of there one off the car. i took mine off to freshen up and it looks a bit bent??
my pass wheel sat back a bit but with it being a project and the fact the anti roll bar mounts were slack i put it down to that.

i have a similar problem with mine, my nearside wheel is sat further back than the offside. I had the same problem with an xr3 as well, had to change the roll bar and mounts. Only problem youve got is turbo ones are thicker and not so easy to come by in good nick as, i think this is a common prob, and the ones i have looked at have been no good. Youd be better swapping for a s1 set up as its adjustable, again if you can get one.

Listen before you all start looking for rollbars thinking they are bent!!!
The S2 rollbar is not even. If you remove it and look at it carefully you will see that the passenger side is diff to drivers side.
This is because the rollbar was designed so you could remove the gearbox without taking it off.
Not because its bent. So if it doesnt look even. Thats because its bent!

i think it is simply a case of it not sitting centrally in the front clamps, which forces it to favour 1 side, which results in that wheel being pushed further back in the arch, and the other wheel being dragged forwards to emphasise the issue

I have the same problem on my xr3i with my near side wheel sitting further back in the arch then the offside. Judging by the spare wheel in the boot it looks like it has had an almighty curbing, is the anti roll bar the most obvious candidate to fix the problem?
