Technical Front Wheel Looks Like Its Angled Toward The Car!!***

[All's Stilo]

Help needed!

The other day i was looking at my stilo about 5 meters infront of the bonnet looking at my drivers side tyre/wheel when i realised that the actual wheel is not staright. it actually looks like its angled in toward the car.

I had the alignment done the other week + the garage had done the lazer alignment, passenger side was fine, but on the drivers side the lazer was actually at an angle (not painting staright up) Looked a bit like this

but not as much of an angle as that. where as now the tyre has really worn o the inside of the tyre. but all other tyre are fine as a fiddle.

The garage that i had the alignment done with said to go to fiat and ask if the Camba or something is adjustable on fiats, and if it is then you would need fiat to adjust it for me.

Could anyone shed some light on this matter for me as im a bit confused as its only the 1 wheel that is @ an angle + all the rest of the wheels are fine.
:bang:
Help?

If you had a true 4 wheel alignment carried out then it should show the camber for all 4 wheels.

Camber isn't adjustable so I suspect you may have damage (or wear) to the suspension.

Well i waslooking @ the suspnsion the other day! where the suspension ends it seems to be quite close to the inner part of the tyre. whe i looked @ this it only seemed about 3cm away from the tyre.

if i was driving could going over a bumpy road couse the tyre to actually catch the under side of the base suspension????

TBH if it's that obvious then I'd want to have a close inspection to see what's happened as I can't see how it could have come out of the factory like that.

You really want to have it looked at by a competent garage (preferably a Fiat specialist) as it could be dangerous

Sounds like a snapped spring. A regular fault on the Stilo. Does it sit slightly lower to that side?
