Hi all

I was looking at the car today, and noticed the passenger side front wheel seems to be at a different camber than the driver's side, the handling does seem to pull to that side too, would this be a wheel alignment issue? The cars not recorded as having a bump.

Here are some photos, starting with the driver's side-

A trip to an OPC is called for.

Having another look, it looks like the passenger side wheel looks a different shape!

Very strange. Are the wheels and tyres same width on both sides, same tyre manufacturer both sides? Did you buy it from an OPC? As Col says, worth a trip to them to get a report.

Does seem very strange, yeah, they're both the same dimensions, and same make. I checked the tyre pressures, that all checks out. This was from a local Porsche specialist, they had a £1000 service and check over at an OPC before they sold it too.
