so here's the deal . I'm lowered on tanabe coils, one finger gap in the rear , volk GT30s, tires are 275-30-20. camber kits installed. alignment within specs.

Whenever I hit a dip in the road , even without any load in the back. Im hearing like two metals grinding in the driver's side rear wheel. Checked the wheel on that affected part and saw some scuff marks on the inner part of the it.(the side the faces the coilovers). Ill be going to amplified to check them out next week.in the meantime, My questions are:

1) What am I hitting?
2) Why just the left side and not the right?

thanks amigos!

 

1) It's not hitting, it's called rubbing. If you noticed the sidewall of your tires got scuffed, then it mean's they're rubbing against the inner fendor lining (black thing above the right above the tire)

2) It's either because you're running more camber on one side than the other OR your weight could have affected it, kind of like this:

 

pretty much what sam said

 

not tires,, its the wheels (metal ) thats is scuffed.. Do you think the PLASTIC fender lining will be able to do much damage to the wheels? and i swear ,, its a metal to metal contact sound -- sigh--

 

you might be rubbing your fender bracket and will have to grind it

 

idk im SLAMMED on JICS and all i hit is the ground

 

i thought of that as well ,, is that the piece of metal (located near the coilovers) protruding towards the wheel ? anyone has the picture ?

 

arrghhh i dunno

 

Its not the fender bracket if it is on the inside of the wheel. Can you take a pic of your set up?

 

you shouldnt be rubbing anything on the inside. what your describing noise why and when it happens sounds like the bumper bracket but not if your having marks on the inside of your wheel

 

i know ,, arrghh ,, we'll check it out on thursday ,, Ill keep you guys posted

 

soo what ever happen with the rubbing

 

sorry but i replied to another thread,, anyways it was my bumper brackets and fender lining,, the scratches from the inner wheel was from the car wash a week before that ,, so please do your car a favor ,, wash it yourself
