I recently noticed that my passenger side front wheel sits roughly 28mm further forward than my drivers side wheel, thus causing my wheels to scrub on the plastic behind the front bumper. Someone suggested that it may just be the bushes needing replacing?

Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening? Is it safe to drive with the wheel like this as I am unable to get it looked at until after the weekend?

castor rod bushes also known as radius rod bushes can cause such a problem though I`ve never seen such a difference like that.

Bent radius/strut rod, might do it too.

Worn control arm bushes will achieve that sort of movement.
