Default Hi

Hello people ,
Just had all the lower arms and track rod ends etc changed on my 2wd sierra and the front wheels still sit forward in the arch and the front end feels like it's floating also the rear wheels look like they are sitting back in the arch. Any idears why people ??! Thanks

........ sounds like it has a 4x4 roll bar fitted in the front mate

Strange,as said pics would be good.As far as I am aware the only difference for the tca's from a normal Sapphire to Cosworth is the diameter of the mounting hole not the shape.I am sure 2wd,4x4 Cosworth range are the same.Not 3dr,different ball joint being a castle nut not pinch bolt so I am stumped.
I don't know about the roll bar but it sounds plausible.

The wheels don't fall naturally in the centre of the arch anyway, they are biassed.
It may have a early 3 door arb, a "H13", this is good news, it means less castor, so although a little twitchier to steer it's all the better for it, this would push the wheels forward.
