Back wheel

[Hunterforce]

Hi guys

Some years ago I had a crash on my mtb, not to bad but that's biking, however I've noticed although the bike seems to run fine, I've noticed the clearance on the back wheel is less on the left side than the right side ( the piece of frame that runs horizontal back to the back Hun)
Do I assume that my back wheel is shot or outta true??

Out of true, or not sat straight in the drop outs

Cool nothing to bad then lol it doesn't wander in and out, it's just less gap that's all, all seems to run fine it's something I've just noticed

is this easy to get sorted, and what do you think the cost might be?

If it's sat out of true in the dropouts then zilch, just release, re-align and tighten the skewer or nuts. simples.

I've checked its in right tonight and all looks right, so i guess its the wheel that's out of true?

I think if the wheel is out of true it will 'wobble' when spinning whereas if it's the axle not sitting right it'll be constantly off. Hope that makes sense.
