Passenger wheel is crooked. Where to start.
Hotrodjohn71
Before I tear into this problem I'd like to ask some opinions. I acquired a 67 firebird project car. The passenger side front wheel does not look straight like the drivers side does. I can see a scrape or possible impact mark on about a 3 inches long mark on that passenger wheel but I cannot confirm if it's related. I eyeballed both sides control arms as I have the engine out and I can't as of yet see anything that stands out. I would think a curb shot impact would cause the wheel to be clocked with the top of the wheel out instead of in. Where do I look first? Thanks Attached Files: |

Thank you Scott. All of those things will be fine but the twisted frame possibility.

Looks like you either crimped the upper control arm or broke the bottom control arm. I'll bet its broken next to the ball joint, they were notorious for this..
