So for the past couple of days. I started to notice that my driver side tire's is rubbing againts the fender.

Before, it didn't rub as I heat gunned the whole fender lining upwards...

But now I realize that when I steer to the right at a moderate speed (like 45-60 MPH in the freeway), there is a rubbing sound. I never heard anything like this before.

Would a blown shock cause this? I know that I didn;t gain weight, and the fender lining is still pushed up the way I remembered.

Btw, my tire and wheel setup up front is 20x9 +35 w/ 235/30/20 tire lowered on TEIN S springs if that helps anything.

Oh, and my mileage is about 39K miles.


Guys, any inputs will be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

How long have you had the Teins? If it is recent, it could be the springs settling. Otherwise, jack up your car and take a look at the shock.

 

I agree with Vik but if I recall you have had them for a while now?

Its possible the lining needs to be heated some more. Maybe something got in there while driving or anything else that is possible from every day driving. I wouldnt be to concerned about it as there is nothing there that will get damaged so long you are not rubbing against that screw (that holds the front bumper on). Just keep an eye on it to see what it does. I found on my car that every so often the right angle, speed, ect that I would get slight rub on the front L side. It also did this on the rear of the car. Dont forget the L side sits lower!

 

thanks guys for the input. i had this teins for maybe less than 5k miles.

i will try to jack up the car and see whats wrong...
