I have just put 265/75 tyres and 30mm spacers on my 90 and it is very obvious that the offside tyres stick out an inch or more than the nearside. Is this normal? I saw the same thing on my SIII Lightweight 20 years ago but presumed it was cos the previous owner (the Forces) had dropped her from a great height. No one has dropped my 90 so what is this?
 
No, it is not normal - that's not how it left the factory!

Hard to tell why, does it look to sit straight? Are the nuts on the stub axle done up properly - ie is there any play in the wheels (clunking when you try and shift em) when it's off the ground?
 
this has been discussed before, if the 90 has been lifted has the panhard rod been lengthened/adjusted?
 
The 90 is only 3 years old, very straight, 20K miles, not lifted, not crashed or bent and all nuts are tight. When jacked up all wheels, bearings etc are solid. I never would have noticed if I hadn't put the 30mm spacers on (to clear steering lock when new 265/75 MT's fitted last weekend).
It's the fact that the extra inch or so sticking out on the offside is exactly the same on the front and rear that perplexes me.
 
Just been investigating further and it seems this is caused by negative camber on the nearside and zero or slightly positive camber on the offside.

Is this adjustable? I'm guessing not.
