Thanks for the explanation. I couldn't tell if it was some sort of optical illusion or if their shit was fucked up.
This is more common on solid rear axle trucks. It’s much easier for that to come out of square with the frame. Much easier to fix too. Unibodies…that thing is just fucked.
There is an alignment term for this but it’s basically the rear wheels are not square with the body. If you turn the front wheels to match the rears then the car goes straight but the body is slanted.
So this person is fully aware this is happening, right? Is their steering wheel really tilted to the side like that even though they going "straight"?
If this was from a shady shop repair I wouldn’t put it past them taking the steering wheel off and realigning it.
