odd ofset problem

[nc89sho]

ok, what would cause one wheele to have a diff. offset from the other 3??
i did have an accident a few months ago(not impact), so it's possible that something is bent/broken. but the front driver's side wheele sticks out farther than the pass. the passenger's side is even with the fender, the drivers is about a fourth of an inch past it. what should i look for.i've already replaced strut mounts. just want to get some ideas before i go hunting. looked at it yesterday and it all looks normal.

Sounds like you subframe is shifting laterally.

ithought about that, but don't see any other evidence of it. .. any other ideas? if it's the subframe then i will be fixing it soon because i'm doing a clutch job and the subframe has to come off anyway.

some of these cars are like this, my 89 is 5/8 offset to the left, alignment is perfect. front & back. if the subframe is centered, then you'll want to center the rear as well. its not a issue until you get close quarters with tire fitment.
