Right its a gsi and its on speedlines so in theory shouldn't catch. But it does only on the passenger side. It is low and looks to be on gmax shocks not sure on the springs. Only only catches when turning sharply right. It also seems to me that the passenger side wheels sticks out ever so slightly more and appears to be a tad lower on that side to the other. Any ideas/ advice greatly appreiciated. Cheers

Personally if the appearance of the passenger side is different I'd be checking to see if the car has camber adjustment bolts fitted to the bottom shocker to hub bolts and one is out of alignment or come loose, just a thought if you've just bought it and its could have had them fitted

Might be worth opening up all the bush bolts and re-seating then as well. If they've not been changed they've probably got play. There are a few places you can introduce contact just because the stuff gets old and worn but is still tight.

I will just throw some poly bushes on the front end but I baffled as to why it sits lower on the front corner could that be a knackerd shock or worn spring or something along those lines ?

Could be the spring mate have you checked them ? If they are cheap springs depending on how old they are it could just be worn and need replacing

If you don't have a broken coil spring, I'm guessing the tyre size/profile might be too big ?
