I just picked up an 89 240sx for $1200, and i noticed that the back right wheel is at an angle? I have not had the chance to take the wheel off and look yet. What do you think is the problem? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'>

If your looking at it from the back the top of the wheel is angled out and the bottom is in. And its just the right wheel.

Im gonna have to go with drifta, My tire is sittin exactly the same way. This is because I came around a turn too fast on my bald tires and my car slid into the curb. Check the lower control arm that is what i am replacing sunday hopefully it will work.

When I bought my car I had a similar problem. &nbsp;My back right rim had this huge dent in it, as if someone nailed the curb really hard. &nbsp;I took it to check it out and it turns out that I needed to replace the control arm and back subframe!!! &nbsp;Luckily i found a used subframe for $400 and the control arm for $60 and had the dealership install it. &nbsp;Came to about $700 canadian. &nbsp;Was expensive, but it was worth it. &nbsp;Everything just feels more smooth now and handling is better.

Just hope you don't have to replace the subframe...

Good luck
