sorry couldnt get a great pic

 

no, your fenders arent aligned right. someone probably pulled them out further to avoid a binding issue with the leading edge of the door


its a common problem though

 

so can i adjust them right or do i justleave um be?

 

Is there a gap on top of the fender where it meets the cowl? That isn't right and should be able to be aligned.

 

yea a small one

 

There should be abotu a quarter inch gap between the door and the fender as well as the fender to the cowl. If the gaps look okay the way to fix it is to losent he bottom bolt and pull the fender downward. This will "stretch" the fender so it fits the contour of the body. If you do this and there is not a 1/4" gap between the door and the fender either the door or the fender needs to be slid backward or forward depending on which is incorrect. door to quarter gap should be about a 1/4" also.

I just went and looked at my car and the gap from the fender to the cowl is closer to an 1/8" inch more than likely 3/16". Id try the bottom bolt first. Just make sure the top of the fender is in line witht the door skin and go from there.

 

so its just adjustments? its not like i need to replace them or anything right?

 

Probably not. if nothing looks bent or creased it just adjustment.

 

the problem is from jacking up the car wrong and bent the fender, by putting the jack in the wrong place

 

so replace the fenders?
