Tire rubbing!
Tire rubbing!
So I have an 03 Sedan dropped on BC coilovers and just started to get rubbing from the front passenger fender. The car is lowered about 2" or so, I have 20" rims and 245/35 tires. I have been riding at this height for about 6 months and suddenly I now have rubbing from the front passenger fender when turning left. I have adjusted the camber to give more negative camber but it has t helped the rubbing at all. What could make this happen after this long with no change in ride height? Could the damper be blown out causing it to sag?
I already know exactly where it's rubbing, paint has worn away, what is strange is I didnt change any settings, after the suspension settled it was fine for about 4-5 months and all the sudden it started rubbing. After that I added in some more negative camber as it is rubbing at the outer lip of the fender at the top apex. I just don't know why it took this long to start rubbing, and it isnt a slight rub, it is very loud. The only thing I can think is that the damper is blown causing the suspension to sagg on that side under added load. Any other thought as to why it would start after 5 months? Forgot to mention, it's not a bushing issue, lower control arms have been replaced with energy suspension bushings and the upper A arms also have new bushings.
