Wheels not straight?

Just noticed..when parked in 'straight ahead' position, looking from front, OS wheel is dead straight, but NS is pointing into the kerb at at least a 10degree angle. Doesn't look right at all, but van handles fine, doesn't drift or pull to one side..

Is this normal for a Bongo? If not, any suggestions? (2.5 TD).

Thanks

Derek

10 degree toe out is not normal, but I suspect it's a bit of an optical illusion - try it on the flat.
That degree of misalignment would cause heavy tyre wear.

Yes should be a little bit of toe-in not toe-out (no camel toe either :shock: )
