Default dodge dart suspension question

Hey guys im having a suspension problem with my dart. My drivers side wheel is 1/2 in too far foreward. the passanger side measures 15 inches to the rear corner of the fender and the right is 15 1/2. i just bought the car and did a 318 swap from thje old slant six. my suspension is all new and the k member came from an ol duster. when i took the old one out i noticed that it was warped about 1 inch. i also noticed this problem with the old k member as well. i have a body diagram and all measurements seem to match. my strut rod is loose on that side so it will alow the suspension to go back, how can u push the drivers side front wheel further back towards the rear of the car.1/2 inch. the tire is hitting the fender when i turn

If the strut rod is loose as you stated, that could be the problem. The strut rod is what keeps the LCA from shifting front to rear. check all the bushings in the suspension and replace anything that seems worn.
