    need help

    New to audi I have a 2003 a4 avant, which appears to be lowered even more from the sport suspension package. My question is,what would be the cause for the drivers rear wheel sticking further out than the passenger side rear? The car is accident free,and i took it to an audi dealer and a vw dealer for alignments and neither could find anything wrong, or so they say(the people i dealt with at both places didn't see it being a issue). It's not much only a cm or so but it's enough to p*** me off every time i look at it

    Spacers in the rear?

    Are the rear wheels "factory" wheels or are they replicas (w/ a non-factory offset)?

    Try swapping the 2 rear wheels just to verify that it's not a wheel problem?

    All of the rear suspension components locate off of the rear sub-frame. Upon installation the sub-frame needs to be centered in the body of the car. It sounds like yours is off center.
