   Just been giving my vtr a check over before I set off on a long journey tomorrow, noticed my rear wheels are in different positions in relation to the rear arch trims, as my car is lowered the arches skim over the top of the wheels, one side i can get my fingers inbetween the arch and the side wall of the tyre and the other i cant, this suggests one wheel is further out than the other? has anyone had a similar problem?
   
   also I have tested on level ground and its the same so its not because its on a slope ect.
   
   thanks

   Could just be the offset of the rear beam or the vt kit not on properly...

   No they are both in line but one is just further inwards, the arches look pretty much in the same position, and theres no play in the beam, unless its bent?

   Sure its not had a replacement beam at some point,& they fitted the shorter drum beam?
