I bet your springs are sagging. I had the same problem after 4 years. New springs might be in order. I hate it when I have to drive my friends around. Any little bump can spell disaster.

if you are standing on the right side of the car.....left side of tire that rolls up when rolling forward.

KIM (keep in mind) that this may not make a perfect dent free roll. YOu may also consider looking at your fender lining to see wehre you are rubbing (look for wear) you may just be able to cut those sections out.
