Center the driver side front wheel in fender opening

[doublemyv]

SFM5s444 is under reassembly now, and the front tire is too far forward.  I have searched and read all the old posts about UCA, shims, caster, and didn't find any definitive answer to center the wheel. Attached are the 2 front wheels, and there is a noticeable difference.  Driver side needs to go rearward about 1 and 1/4 inch to be centered.   I have checked the inner shaft in the UCA and measured the distance from the bolts to the edge of the bushing, and the inner shaft is already centered.  Should I remove the UCA, and adjust the inner shaft to move the control arm rearward on the shaft ?  Will removing a couple of shims from the rear bolt on the Upper Control Arm be a fix, or is there something else ?   Thanks for the tribal knowledge.  Mark

Don't you adjust that with the Strut Rods that go from the Radiator Support to the Lower A-Frame?

Early cars did not have adjustable strut rods. The bottom line on where the wheel ends up is when the final alignment is done. Once the car is on the ground and settled do the final tightening of the lower bushings and strut rods. Then set caster/camber and toe to see where you are.

Measure the wheel base each side. Upper control arm lowered and redrilled same location both sides,  same # of shims?
