Ok, an early appology, I am sure there is something on this, but could not find it for love nor money.
Quite simply my Far side wheel is much further into the arch of the car that the near side, it could be said it is higher. Ok so if it was the back i would look for a collapse suspension cone. But front suspension I am not so clued up on.
You guys are always helpful, anything would be appreciated.
Thanks :)

Why would you only think this was down to a collapsed cone at the rear? The front is usually where they collapse because the front cones take far more abuse. Have you fitted alternative suspension at the front? If not then your problem is probably a worn cone.

Sorry that did sound stupid. No aftermarket gear has been fitted. I will have a look tomorrow, was not sure if the front suspension was comprised of cones.

Check the knuckle joint, it's probably pushed through the cup.
