I have noticed that my newly acquired 1990 Cooper as one rear wheel about 18mm further inside the wheel arch than the other. One side you can get you hand in behind and the other you can't. I have had the wheels off shortly after I bought it and put new 165 tyres on with 3mm spacer both sides but it's clear to see. It drives fine and there doesn't appear to be any twisting in the shell or evidence of accident damage at all, is this good old Rover, or a dodgy radius arm or something perhaps?

One Wheel Is Further In That The Other

Is the front of the subframe parallel to the healboard?

Is there a spacer drum brake fitted on both sides. If its driving fine and no noticable tyre ware its unlikly to be a bent radius arm. Does the camber look the same on both sides?
