so I had my 410 meshes put on recently, and i noticed that the rear passenger side sticks out more than the driver's side after i had the wheels and alignment done. it's prob about 0.25-0.5" out more than the left side, and thus causing rubbing on the right side but nothing on the left.

anyone ever run into this before? i've been googling, and it might be something with the subframe/chassis being off-center. could i take it to toyota to get it fixed up?

any help would be awesome.

a bit hard to see, but it's there ...

 

camber?

 

i dont think its camber because wouldn't be more on an angle..maybe just maybe the rim is off.....meaning a manufacture defect like it wasnt cut right....just a suggestion....

 

flip the wheels and compare.

 

yeah it's definitely not camber and it's definitely not manufacturer defect on the wheels.
seems to be a common problem ... someone mentioned it might be the parking brake causing that slight right pushout?
however, the box generally tends to sag on the passenger side after lowering from what i understand. is there a panhard bar or linkage somewhere that can be adjusted?

 

i forget where i saw it, but yes the rear is off center. its off by about a half inch. i had to roll my rear fenders because of that. i was rubbing on one side and not the other. and it sucks that you can see it from the rear if your tires stick out at all.

 

Whoa. That's actually pretty significant.

 

With the rear being off center, isn't that a manufacturer defect?

 

yeah it sticks out farther then the other side for some reason. i rolled that side fender a little more then the other cuz of that.

 

never heard of this. Why is it like that?

 

IDK why it's like that but it's not really a defect, cuz everyone is like that and it fits together stock. so it was made like that for a reason. maybe with the way the rear end of the box tracks.

 

My xB is like that also. I am assuming that they designed the USDM xB's rear torsion beam with a little bit more toe in/camber on the right side because of the crown of the road, and the fact that right turns in North America are sharper compared to left turns. Again this is an assumption, and the only reason I believe this is because my xB tracks perfectly and has a pretty damn good alignment, and I've also noticed other xB's with the same issue.

 

Mine is also like that ('05, completely stock suspension and wheels)

 

so every xB is like this? im about to put my 10mm spacers on and am wondering if i am gonna run into this problem as well.
