I was drunk when I typed that.... its my driver side that is lower.

 

roll the fenders, it's not a big deal. And a decent battery relocation will take you more time and money than a fender roll.

 

if your worried about the battery throwing off the weight balance of your car you have bigger things to worry about. suspension time!

 

I can (and feel comfortable to) relocate the battery in the trunk myself with basic tools. I have roughly 6-7 years involvement with car audio on how and where to run power wire and supply a ground in the back. I also have plenty of 0ga power wire (over kill I know) and a distribution block to relocate the battery in the garage.

I cannot (and dont feel comfortable to) roll my fenders on my car.

I am not worried about the weight balance of my car. I am worried about the fender rubbing my tire enough to puncture it and causing me to ruin a "nice 20 inch wheel" and possibly causing damage to my car and any others around me if I cant gain control of my car.

Right now it rubs enough to hear it in the cabin and on a 10 mile trip to work I make almost every day it rubs 6 times. Its not a long rub, just a quick "swish".

When I turn right at "safe speeds" on rural county roads (asphalt roads) turning right out of a parking lot that is a incline, and when I drive over long dips (bumps) at "safe speeds" on the road the driver front tire rubs.

I can make left turns all day long at "safe speeds" without a rubbing issue.

I have never measured it, but the driver fender is lower than the passenger fender, I can tel cause I can barely get my hand in between the tire and the fender on the driver side, but have plenty of clearance on the passenger side and I have a heavy battery in that position, so thats why im assuming its the battery.

 

The battery will make no difference at all.

The suspension is due for replacement. The drivers side wears a lot quicker as that is the side that usually carries more weight.

Replace the springs and shocks and then roll your fenders is the only way to do it. Listen to what these people are saying, don't waste your time and money trying to invent a solution when there is only one way to sort this out.

Also for the original thread poster, don't bother with second hand springs and shocks that have 140k miles on them, they will be shot and need replacement.

Stiffer springs and shocks will reduce the wheel travel but you will eventually need to either roll the fenders or change the wheels. No way around this.
