Rubbing Issue

Postby black99 » Mon Jan 11, 2010 8:38 am

Nope, no spacers here. I dont think its rubbing the fender lip though cause it looks like the only thing it could be rubbing would be the strut housing. But theres no sign of rubbing on it. I do have a set of heavy subs in my trunk, could that be an issue with this? Its wierd b/c it only started doing this after I got an alignment done about 4500 miles ago...

hmmm... I would say subs can for sure add enough weight to cause rubbing issues, but I am not sure where you are actually rubbing if it isn't the fender lip.

If the rubbing is minor or even a little worse, it will be hard to tell that it is rubbing on the outside. A good trick is to put some tire shine on the tire and you'll be able to see exactly where it is rubbing on the fender, because the tire won't be shiny there and the residue will stick to the fender. If you are rubbing on the strut, you'll probably rub almost all the time, so there should be marks on the strut.
Trust me, I'm a technician.
