Is this a Bad Strut??
Lately, when I've been making left turns my front passenger side tire is rubbing into my wheel well. My car is lowered on Dropzone shocks and Tein H-tech springs(1.25"drop). Does this mean my shock is bad. My shcoks are installed correctly, and yes I remembered to put the bump stop on the new shcoks. They have been running fine until ljust lately. If it is a bad shock I was wondering if I could replace the bad one with my stock shock. I'm on a limited budget.
I just went out and did the wheel bearing test. My tire spins freely and sounds fine. It can't be an axle cuz it would drive like crap all the time. So it's gotta be a shock right?? I just can't imagine how a shock could go out after only 2 years. Wouldn't the think have to leak or blow apart to not work. Hell, It's a pneumatic (or hydraulic), theres not that many parts inside it that can go wrong. WTF

There's plenty that can go wrong, especially in a cheaply built shock. Check for any fluid leaking out of the shock itself.
How far is the car lowered?
Are the springs all sagged? Like, are the coils touching at static ride height?
