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.

 

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.

 

jack the car and find out

 

Yes i already have a full camber kit on my car. I removed the top ball joint the other day to install new struts and i damaged the ball joint while doing this. After everything was back together is when i noticed the rubbing on that side. So i figured that was the problem.

 

could just fix the ball joint then see what happens.A bad ball joint can have play in it but cant see being that much were the tire hits!!!!! but hay anything can happen

 

The ball joint is part of the camber kit and i don't know what brand it is. The camber kit was on the car when i purchased it. The guy i bought it from said that eibach recommend the camber kit when he bought the sportlines?

 

get some SKUNK2 e-bay 150

 

I think i am going to get the BLOX ones.

 

K there good to.
