I think you've described the method Compomotive used to seal my wheels. The first time I saw that, I thought it was overkill but now I figure they knew what they were doing!

I don't think I've had my wheels apart since I got them. Actually, I changed the width and maybe the offset of my front wheels but I had Compomotive do that for me when they still supported modular wheels. When I had my wheel straightened, I don't THINK they took the wheel apart, but they may have. When I've gotten new tires, they used a regular tire machine.

Yes on inspection this AM...The links are of unequal length! Why they have been adjusted this way I have no idea, perhaps a lazy way to change toe-in??? However as I track the car and hard, I am planning to take it to a reputable alignment centre and have the corner weights done too. I will adjust the links myself inward so the wheel doesn't rub and drive it sensibly to the centre.
Thanks for the input guys  :)
If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver.

Sounds like you have a handle on it. Glad you got it figured out!
