    Default rear suspension issue (FE2)

    My VN GTS Commodore has a wee problem with the rear suspension (FE2). I have noticed that the rear wheels have different horizontal clearences to the body. On the right I measured approx 5 cm side clearence to the rear fender and on the left side only two cm. When I have a load in the boot the left fender actually rubs or cuts into the wall of the tyre. I know it sounds weird, its not like a soft shock, its more like the diff isnt centered or something. Also when an adult sits in the back seat on the right side it causes the same rubbing but on the opposite side.
    Any idea as to the problem, how to fix it and if its difficult to do?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    I dont love my car because its the fastest or even because its the best looking. I love my car for the hundred different little things that make it special. GTS

    chances are that your panhard rod bushes and worn out..... an adjustable panhard rod is a wise investment if your worried about keeping the wheel track perfectly inline

    Thanks dude, do you know if getting the bushes replaced is difficult to do?

    panhard rod bushes would be the easiest bushes to replace in a vn i think. not hard at all.
