Wheels...
My l/h rear wheel is 15mm closer to the chassis than the R/H rear wheel. The geometry is apparently fine as of two different places and the car seems to drive straight and true. What gives?Jaguar Land Rover: "Building great cars, badly."

Yes, however the whole wheel is 15mm further inboard than the other side, measured with a straightedge across the wheel arch. How is this possible? Eccentric bolts 180 degrees out?Jaguar Land Rover: "Building great cars, badly."

Have you measured from the wheel to the chassis? Bare in mind that the body in on flexible mounts, and might not be truly in line with the chassis.Richard

So it's actually possible to get the body cock-eyed on the chassis? I'll measure from the chassis rails later.Jaguar Land Rover: "Building great cars, badly."
