Anyone ever take their car to a shop to nudge or align the front subframe?
I got my car back from the dealership after they put a new engine in and they dropped the front subframe to do it.
They put it back as close to where it originally was before but I'm assuming it was by eye and where the last markings from bolts were so obviously not exact.
Now my driver side front wheel is slightly off center and sitting closer to the front of the fender/front bumper AND the wheel gap is a bit lower than passenger side.
Kind of looks like this, [front of car] /_(O )__(O)_| [rear]
Before, both front wheels were perfectly in the center of the wheel well with even ride heights.
I'm thinking a small nudge or movement in the front subframe with the bolts loosened can get this back to near perfect.
Could the caster have moved causing the wheel to shift forward? Which would also explain the change in wheel gap?
