Well i finally got fed up and decided to find out why im getting an alternating rubbing sound coming from the front driver side wheel well when i make a semi hard or fast right turn. But i cant find the problem for the life of me. It doesnt rub or make the sound at all when i make left hand turns, even hard fast ones. This is what baffled me. On top of that, its not always a constant rubbing sound. unless im making a FAST right turn, otherwise its an alternating rubbing sound. Ah by the way i have a civic with koni/sportlines and 205/40/17's.... I know i know i shoulda got 16's but thats besides the point now. Anyone else have this problem?? . ok...HELP!!!

 

stock shocks?
how much do you weigh and how much of a drop?
if its only when you do hard RIGHT turns all the weight is on the left side of the car, so its probably comming from the left side, rear.
you have a system in the trunk? my 17"s rub only when my car is fully loaded (3-4 people, i have a 200lb system in the trunk)

 

Hey
I got koni yellows with eiback sportlines which is an awsome setup. Im a lightweight 145 and i dont have a system anymore. But i did check the driver side rear and guess what...i noticed that my tread in the inside is uneven. you know how i said that the rubbing was alternating. well the tread is worn that way too. the inner part of the tire has an alternating tire wear pattern to it i never would have guessed it would have been my driver rear. anyway lemme jack this thing up and see what we got...

 

nevermind. its definately comming from the front driver side...sigh
and it sounds like a hollow rub if that makes sense
