Bad upper ball joint causing rubbing?
My passenger side upper ball joint is bad. When i make a sharp left turn the tire rubs the fender. It does not do this on the driver side. Can the bad upper ball joint cause rubbing issues? I want to make sure that could be the problem before i order a new front camber kit.

Re: Bad upper ball joint causing rubbing?
do you already have a camber kit? maybe the bolts arent tight and its slipping. The wheel is attached to the hub, the hub is attached via balljoints, if the balljoint moves, the wheel and tire move too. So yeah that could definitely cause the problem you are describing.
