Big suspension problem…

In addition to the spacer question above, did you measure the cradle? Just do an alignment? Also, what do your alignment numbers look like? In the rear, the camber adjusts from the top, so a little deviation in camber will push the top of the wheel in or out.

Just swap wheels side to side
If the extra width follows the wheel it is the wheel/tire
If it stay on the same side it’s your rear end that is the issue

Just did a wheel swap. No difference… Did some measurements but have no clue where the difference is coming from…

Also did a measurement from the body to the brake disc, no difference???

Could it make a difference of like a 0,4/0,5inch, for me its around 1/1,30cmI think its huge… Not an expert on Camber tho. The garage here in the Netherlands told me its normal for Mustangs cuz they do Nascar and Americans only turn left thats why they make it like that… He told me, total BS!

Yes camber could make that difference but would be a big difference in camber and looking at the car from the back you could eyeball, by looking at both tires, if it’s the case
Google camber to get a visual picture of what you are looking for
My guess is more on a un centered cradle
5mm too much on a side will have the effect that you see
Edit: from the pictures from the rear that you posted, doesn’t seems to be a camber issue

Sure the spacer isn't stuck to the wheel ?

No spacer… on the driver side I have a 15mm spacer and on the passenger side 20mm, to make it look more even. I’ll share some pictures:

Also notice the line on the right side, which is equal to the outer point of the diffuser. The left outer line of the tire is more in the car, and still that wheel is like 0,4inches more out of the car than the right one.

RIGHT SIDE HAS 5MM on the spacer than the left side…

Camber is out.

 

[Racingredcoyote]

Camber is out.

you mean too much postive or no camber on the driver side and (maybe) too much camber on the passenger side?

 

[WildHorse]

Dunno. Get it checked.

 

[Racingredcoyote]

Dunno. Get it checked.

So i guess they fucked up the alignment… I’ll post tomorrow the alignment sheet just to be sure. I def gonna search for a legit companyhere, make an apointment for a proper alignment. THANKS!

Cradle must be centered… Right? I just let them put in the kit… With the BMR Cradle lockout kit…

Camber is OK? Or not? Looks off to me now I check the pictures it looks like the driver side has postive camber and the passenger side has negative camber… But dunno if it could make a difference of like 0,4inches…

for a quick visual use a plumbline off the top of the tire.

Post your alignment sheet. That will tell you what is wrong. If numbers are perfect, the car is aligned, but with a crooked cradle. If the camber isn't matching side to side, it could be a camber issue and/or cradle.

We need the alignment sheet to understand what is going on.

I can see the camber missmatch. The driverside is way to positive.

Find a real shop. These cars are adjustable, don't let them fool ya.

-1.75 each side is pretty good for street use and you want .1 degree of toe in per side.
