it is the upper control arm brushing. It will move up and down with your wheel together, and won't hit your wheel unless that is broken and falling off!!!!!!

oh okay thanks, so it's safe if it's just an inch above my tires?

i looked at my moms maxima and i couldn't even see a similar part above her tire

Screw thing??? Are you talking about the upper ball joint (gold top w/ red boot) if so you have nothing to worry about. The balljoint and the tire move relative to each other

the guys with chargers and magnums have to grind the stud and nut in half when they run 22s and whatnot cuz they hit.

your wheel is attached to 'that thing'. they can't move independent of each other without either the spindle or your wheel snapping.
