Hello Guys, I'm having an issue where the passenger rear wheel isn't sitting as flush as the driver side wheel. I just got alignment so both sides have matching alignment. So I'm questioning on whether it's a bent control arm of some sort or maybe an issue with the subframe. Has anyone had any similar issues?

If you look under the car at the offset camber adjuster bolts on the rear subframe you'll probably find they don't match. Or if you've had subframe work done your subframe isn't aligned properly. Did you request a 4 wheel alignment?

check if they installed the wrong rims on the tires - the tire sizes might be in the right spot, but you might have a front rim on the rear tire, installed on the right rear, which could cause this variance as well. i caught this one time soon after I had a fresh set of tires installed and drove around.

I'll check this out, yeah I got a 4 wheel alignment. Hopefully it's something as simple as that
