Default funny noise from a dumped sol

hey guys, my bro and i recently put some koni yellows on his 94 sol. its pretty dumped right now (koni yellows and s2 lowering springs.


theres a "wop wop wopwopwopwop" sound that speeds up the faster he goes. i think its the tire rubbing on something. what all could it be? and what can we do to fix it?

thanks all!!

killed your wheel bearing?
can you hear the sound from both sides or only 1 side?
more noticeable when you turn, go straight, accelerate, slow down, brake hard?

LMFAO. 65 is definitely rubbing the fender liners. Roll your fenders, get smaller tires, ditch the mud guards.
