Do you mean the front edge of the wheel? Then no, sounds like tracking is out. Or the non adjustable steering arm is bent (like mine lol)

 you mean the top of the wheel, then also no. Sounds like something might be bent? You checked steering/suspension components?

Taylor, the off side arm is supposed to be bent - well curved anyway.

Yeah I know, but I mean more bent than its supposed to be, (which mine is) resulting in me having more steering lock one way than the other

arms are not bent, and departures are on the same L and R and geometry is set...it looks as if there was 1.5cm Wheel spacers.....try to look at your car if there is a difference pls
