Suspension or rear axle housing??
Hello, this is my 14 S197. When I acquired the car it already had a lot of aftermarket suspension. The rear wheels look like they are pushed back/not in the center of the wheel well. The passenager rear wheel is slightly pushed back farther and is grinding on the quarter panel and mud flap. I took it to a shop and they told me it could be the suspension or my biggest fear is that the rear axle housing is bent. Does anyone have an idea on how this could have been caused?

Does it have adjustable rear lower control arms by any chance? If they are adjusted wrong, it could do that.

The shop you took it to must not be very good 
. Your best bet is to adjust the rear lower control arm and see if you get lucky

to adjust them, they have to be adjustable
