wheel off set doesnt usually cause crabbing, axle misalignment does.
In a series this is usually because of spring sag on one springl, failed spring center bolts and worn suspsension bushes.
So going off this I'm possibly driving with front wheels that have a different offset. It certainly appears that way as the wheel looks a noticeable amount further out in the arch on the drivers side (the wheel with the rib). What are the possible problems this might cause?
I've been driving this way ever since I bought the Landy like this. I've been told it crabs, is this a symptom?

Thanks Dave, I replaced my suspension with Rocky Mountain Paras but didn't do the chassis suspension bushes at the timeI've bought some since and plan to put them in in the near future. I also have new wheels on the way so this problem will be eliminated soon anyway, I was just curious.

Numbers were very faint and I hadn't noticed them before, had a closer look and the wheel is AYG 8038 so as you said not a very noticeable difference in offset. I hadn't noticed it for the past two and a half years. I still wasn't sure it was differently offset even then which is the reason for this post. Thanks for your help.![]()
