I know it has had a prang on NSF, and I was looking at the NSF wheel today and it is not central in the wheel arch (closer to arch on rear side than front side of wheel)
I was doing a service, so didn't try to loosen the subframe today as I ran out of light, but I could see it looks like it has either been loosened before, or has move under load, as I can see bare paint around some of the bolt seats.

Question - if I loosen the subframe how much adjustment is there, or is it fairly set on dowels or such like?

The car drives OK, no knocks or pulls.

They do move but not a lot,if you move it across for one side dont forget ot will move the other side too.Handy if you have one side with too much camber and the other side with too little.
Would deffo recommend a 4 wheel alignment though

Thanks. I need to move it forwards, is that what you meant or do you mean moving it left to right?

Left to right would alter camber which is what i meant.
Forword and back would alter castor

Get a tape measure and measure from the centre cap on the back wheel to the centre cap on the front wheel,compare the two sides.
