940 Front wheel not centered
Question... 1994 940 wagon drivers side front wheel is literally 1" more forward than the passenger wheel. The wheel also looks uncentered. Nothing is missing, no bends, no cracks.
What are my options here? I don't see any adjustments on the radius bar or the mount....
So before I bring it in for an alignment I want to know what my options are for correcting that
Thanks in advance!

Drive the car slowly next to a reflective surface (large plate glass windows) Tap the brakes and watch for the wheel (in the reflection from the windows) to move back in the wheel well, try the same in reverse. If they have not been replaced in a few years they are probably worn out.
For your alignment - the only thing adjustable is the toe in, using the tie rods. Camber and caster is not adjustable. (well camber can be by drilling new mounting holes - but very few will do that)
Hoonk, thanks for your reply. Put a Gopro on the fender with a tape marker for the center of the wheel. When I tap the brakes I see the wheel flex back slightly and then return to where it sits normally (still off center).
Will probably order all the bushings for the control arm and the control arm stay for both sides along with sway bar bushings. Thanks for the tip.
I went through measuring the subframe, control arm stay length, ball joint to a fixed point on the frame and nothing was off, but then it was up in the air. So I bet when I put weight back on the wheels it shifts that front wheel forward (best guess).
