My car makes a scrubbing sound when I hit minor bumps in the road and when I make sharp turns with moderate speed. I just replaced my shocks and that did not help. It sounds like the rear wheels are scrubbing the fender but the fender or tires show no wear and tear. I do have wide tires but the guy that sold those tires to me said he had no problem with his sc and those tires. I have also had my fenders rolled. HELP in GEORGIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dan@assultech - so i finally got around to installing the bushing that i bought from you. can you please check your records if you sent me the right ones..

front uppers - I pressed out my stock bushings, lubed the inner sleeve you provided and put them in the upper control arm. question, i didn't even have the press the upper bushing, i just used my hands. is this normal?

lower control arm bushings - I was able to press these out and burn the rubber so what's left over was the inner sleeve. my problem now is that the inner sleeve doesn't fit inside the bushing. the lower control arm bushings is 2 different sizes. the stock inner sleeve DOES NOT fit the bushings you provided.

anyways, my car is up on jackstands and i cannot use it anymore until this is solved. please let me know if you gave me the right bushings or not because the front lower control arms doesn't fit.

if there's a write up on these, please let me know.. also, if anyone tackled this project on their own, please chime in because i need to use my car.

Thanks!!!
