rear of car out of alignment

[Andycollins]

Was putting some spacers on the rear yesterday and the drivers side sticker out alot more than the passenger side it's like the rear end is aligned wrong or something, anyone have any ideas?

It is a mass produced car so they are never spot on. The Clio rear setup is not particularly robust so they are easily knocked out of spec if the car has had a hit to a rear wheel. Might be worth getting the geometry checked out to see how bad it is.

There is approx an inch difference at the top of the wheel looks like there is camber on the one side but not the other.

First assumption is it's been knocked out of shape. Maybe add a photo so the more experienced can give you some options.

At some point it's probably slid into a kerb and twisted the rest beam.

I wouldn't worry too much. Loads are like it

In not worried as such but more the fact that when im running 15mm spacers at the rear the one sits perfect the other looks horrendous doesnt look right at all

Get it on a proper alignment kit and see how far out it is.

You will need to get spacers made to suit one side, a couple of people have done it in the past.

The rear is only being dragged around so won't effect anything.
