Hi, Fairly new to Land rovers and I'm not sure if this is normal.
Got a 95 Disco, with stock steel wheels, the front tyres are the same size, with no spacers.
The nearside front wheel sits further in the arch compared to the offside front wheel, so much so when you look down the sides you can see the difference.
I have searched and couldn't find any mention of this, anyone suggest what might be the issue, or if its just one of those things.

Has it been lifted?

My old Shogun was like this, after a lot of investigation the main dealer said it had been involved in an accident and had been repaired, I took it to a specialist body shop who put it on their jig and confirmed the chassis was out of alignment, whilst there we found two body mounts with the bolts missing!!

A 2" lift will pull the nearside in / offside out by 6mm.
Adjustable panhard rod needed, or revert to standard height springs.

Hi, Cheers for responding.
Yes it has been lifted by previous owner, 4" lift aparantly (haven't compared it to a standard height)
Will an adjustable panhard rod sort the problem?
Cheers

Yes, it will enable you to centralise the axle, but it won't solve all the other issues that a lift causes.

Probably is what's been mentioned but worth checking if the hubs gone too, ive replaced a few in my time that lean in or out.
