Right hand rear wheel looks 'sunk in'

    I have a furio and it has 106 raptor alloy wheels on, on the back right hand side it looks like the wheel sits further in than the other side.

    It might be how it's parked as its on a slight slope, I can't get pics as I'm on an iPad and it don't let me, only thing I can think off is that the other 3 have spacers, the cars not been in a crash so it's not damage.

    Any ideas?

    does it wobble when you kick it?

    probably spline bearing in torsion bar gone...resulting in NEW AXLE...trust me much easier than to replace any bearing there...if it is that anyway

    Why you only got spacers on 3 wheels? Lol

    On a furio the wheels sit close inside as the drum rear beam is shorter then a vtr or vts discs beam.

    Sounds like axle gone

    Jack that side up and try wobble the wheel with hands at 11 & 5, and then 1 & 7
