Right front sticks out further than left front help As the title states my right front sticks out past the fender considerably more than my left front. I just noticed this today after all the snow here when I took it to get washed. Any ideas? Maybe alignment issue?

Your driving your Firebird in the snow? N/G. Depends were its sticking out, top or bottom of the tire (camber) front or back of the tire (toe in or out) either way the only good answer for that is to go to a shop and get it on the alignment rack.

Mine did the exact same thing. I tried everything from getting alignment, changing springs to replacing shocks. The final remedy was changing the K member. The stock one didnt have anything wrong with it from what I was told when the shop pulled it out. It just sat funny. Drove me nuts for more than a couple of years. BTW, the car drove straight as an arrow the whole time it was like that too.

Hmmmmmm.... hard to tell from the pics, it looks like the whole tire itself is out a lil further not just the top. Silver might be right on that k member, it does not look like camber, more like the whole thing is moved over a little. I guess as long as it does not pull you should be alright. You cant go wrong with a aftermarket k member, I have a tubular k member and adjustable lower control arms I could see that helping in this case. Nice car BTW.
