    Default VX SS rear wheel assembly shifted right

    Hey guys,
    Yes i searched but to no avail.

    It was raining this morning on the way to work and i lost traction a few times from the lights with a noticeable diff bounce occuring.
    I was just out getting something from my car and my right rear wheel looks like its sitting out further then the left.

    As in the right tyre is sitting about 20mm out from the guard and the left tyre is sitting 20mm in....almost like the whole rear end has shifted 20mm to the right, does anyone know what caused this or how to fix it?
    ill post a pic when i get home

    Does it have adjustable rear control arm bushes? They may have spun.

    And it's IRS, you can't get diff bounce lol.

    If the car shook spinning the wheels in the wet then there is something wrong. Maybe the diff cradle is cracked or the control arm bushes are flogged out.

    hmmm, well this is the first time it has done it.
    Ill get underneath it and have a look at it, i just checked out some photos from when i got the car and the wheels look like they are in the same position
    here a few pics, the sun is in a prick of a spot at the moment
    This is the left side

    and this is the right side...this is the side i think is hanging out too much

    It may sound stupid but if you take it down for a wheel alignment would the laser system pick it up?

    Couldn't see any cracks or anything obviously wrong, I couldn't shake anything and everything seems tight and
    In good working order.
    Could this be tyre or suspension related?
    I have yellow springs which were already installed when I bought the car however the suspension seems to be stock, how do you tell if the suspension is shagged?
