Default Why does passenger side wheel tilt in?
I lowered my '99 Z28 with Vogtland lowering springs. Since I did I noticed that the passenger wheel sits tilted in some and the driver side one is straight and flush with the fender. I took it to get it aligned and the guy said he thinks the steering knuckle may be bent. Anybody had this problem before?

Is it tilted in at the top of the wheel or at the bottom of the wheel?

I've had people tell me it could possibly be the upper ball joint. I'm thinking it could possibly be a busted or worn out strut?
