So you guys know i was riding lo like a mofo.
Fender guards were rubbing away on dips and pieces of tire would be shaved off going up the driveway of safeway. I had to do something, cause tires are not cheap!
Conclusion- Raise up the front a bit. fix fender guards.
Readjusted my preload on the front springs. Some how my preload on one side was much more than the other. So i had to readjust that and raised the front to 7 threads rather than 3. Not a big difference but it will do for now.
Then i whipped out of heat gun and blasted my fender guards. With gloves, i pushed up against the guards and stretched it up towards the fender. So pretty much my fender guards are smooth against my fenders now.
here are some pictures before i raised it.
ALSO- i have not washed my car in couple weeks, dont judge! hah
See the Rub marks. They almost rub the Abs sensor wire. I also had to cut some metal and push the wires deeper in just incase.
This is after everything was done
The lip- i have 3 craks on the bottom. 1 in the bottom center. 1 on the left bottom notch. 1 on the right bottom notch. Im guessing the lip is flexing so much it cracked those spots. Lip is still intact and is fine.
No more rubbing in the guards. And no more tire shaving.
Enjoy.This is MY Official I LOVE to Whore my Solara Thread.
