P/S cv boot fitted and now the front left wheel turns in....

[imprezaworks]

So i get the lads in work to replace my cv boot, that was my first mistake. The old one was a pain to get off but they got there. Time was ticking on so it was a bit of a rushed job, second mistake.So after being told its ready to go they leave it parked up for me to get after work. Come to the car steering wheel straight, all wheels straight as they should be apart from the passanger side front, its toe-ing in to the right. P*&*&d off? yep. So the cars in work and ive had to borrow the courtesy car. Going to get them to check it next door(ats) they have just bought a new computer tracking system to adjust camber etc. Initial thoughts though? Im hoping its just as simple as that.:dapprove:

Just took the wheel off and then put it back on. Its actually touching the shock!!!!!!!! Obviously somethings not right. Anyone?

Driveshaft to short? Wrong one used?

All i had replaced was the cv boot.

Get us a pic with the wheel off, should be pretty obvious I'd have thought if it's as bad as it sounds.

I cant until tomo but hopefully it will be sorted by then. If you look at the car straight on, all wheels line up properly bar the p/s front. The top of the wheel goes in. Very annoying and i miss driving it lol

wheel alignment isn't affected by removing the driveshaft, someone fucked up BIG TIME

 

[imprezaworks]

Yep thats what im thinking. Any ideas what it could be Fred?

Just been speaking to a friend who is a mechanic, unfortunatly he doesn't work with me. From what I've described he seems to think the bottom ball joint has been fitted back in. If that's the case that's a proper f&*k up.

Assume you mean it hasnt been fitted in??

No need to touch the balljoint, 21mm hub bolts out, turn the hub and driveshaft pops out.

Aii someones dropped a bollock somewhere.
