Default TCA problem



fitted new adjustable tca’s and I’ve noticed they are not coming out straight from the crossmember

they seem to be going to the front

i didnt notice when stripping
it does look central in the arch by eye but cant measure as no bumper is fitted

whats your thoughts as my conscience is telling me no

When the car/wheels are on the floor do they look any better?

Cossies always tend to have a smaller gap between the bumper and wheel.

once all has settled and geo'd it will be fine.

If you look at a standard tca they are slightly angled as the come away from the crossmember where as the adjustable tcas are straight so look pissed when there in. (Hope that makes sense) in other words there fine mate.

just a piece of mind as the end of the adjustable tca looks central
