R33 Geometry out,but how/why etc?

[tuttle]

Any suspension/chassis geometry techno fiends out there?

Had the skyline up on the ramp yesterday,primarily to look for best re-routing of w/cool piping to & from turbo etc,also to give the Tein shox a slight height tweak(fr plus 6mm,r=4mm-& its still low enough to catch every b*st**d speed bump).

After a decent laser alignment all wheels are good & true.But when checking the set-back,Fr drivers side wheel is pushed 12mm back.Mechanic & I crawled all over(or under in this case)the car for a good hour, but could not find anything that was bent,incorrectly setup etc.

Mystery.Car seems to be handling OK & tyre wear is normal,no unusual vibration etc.But I have to get it sorted for potential safety & my own peace of mind,but would rather not spend a fortune on exploratory work,so any help,suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

History etc is all clean thanx.Its probably something to do with Mrs T's attack of the lamp-post thing which happened last summer(in a car park=low speed).
See below link,if interested

Am planning on inserting something sharp into that garage mananger,if this is the case,as they've pi**ed me around a lot over this claim
