VT Front wheels sitting too far forward.
Hi all.
I have a 2000 Olympic Edition VT. But my front wheels sit too close to the front of the bumper and it rubs against the guard as i turn corners. It has burnt away all the guard and is now starting to eat into the winscreen liqiuid resevoir. Any idea what could be causing this?
The front radius rod (z bar) bushes need replacing,the front wheels move under braking etc and scrub on the guard.I had this happening on my VS when I first got it..I fitted nolothane brand bushes and have never had a problem since...

^^ Agree with Brett-jjj , I had the same, you could see heaps of movement when you are braking. I think mine where SuperPro, but either brand is good.

Even when my car is parked, I can see that the front wheels look too far forward. will new bushes fix this??
New radius rod/tension rod (GMH calls them tension rods) bushes and a wheel alignment should fix. Check your control arm bushes at the same time. And hope nothing is bent.
