I have been hearing a strange clanking noise coming from the drivers side rear tire when I encounter a pothole, So i get my car on a lift and look. So I see the tire has rubbed the inside of the whel well enought to leave two marks. Is the rear sus movable by hand up and down when on a lift? I'm not talking 2 or more inches but a little yes both sides. what would be the reason whay the tire is rubbing the well? is there anything I could do?
And for those who are thinking I'm a fat bastard, No stout but not fat.

Toss some ideas so I could look, thanks.

 

fat ***...

 

shut up you

 

would pics help for you guys to see what I'm talking about? then I'll have to wake earlier and take them.

 

you can roll your inner fender lip if you want.

Or you can just leave it and I'm sure it will cure itself after a while

To roll your rear fender lip, take a baseball bat or broom handle (thingy), stick the thingy between the tire and the rear fender lip at the furthest rear section of the fender, slowly roll the car forwards as you apply pressure with the thing on the fender (it's a good idea to put your other hand on the fender so it does not distort as you do this), the tire should move the thingy along the whole rear fender lip resulting in an even "bend" of the fender lip.

Caution: do it at your own risk. Personally I would not do it. Hope that helped

 

... not having looked at your sig or anything, are you stock, and if not what wheel/tire/suspension are you running?

 

Its not the outer fender its the inner, and as for what I have bone stock except for 205/50/15 azenis
thanks.

 

There's your answer!

 

It has done it before many many month ago with 195/55/15. Tonight I'll get some pics up for you guys to see.

hard to explain where it rubs thats why I think it might be sus component

 

WTF, inner fender? uh, you mean deep inside the wheel well?

 

yup straight behind the tire if you lok at it from infront of the tire.
I'll take some pics. hold on.

 

 

are the shocks still good?

i figure the streets nearby where you live may not be as nice as everywhere else

 

on my blown stock gsr shocks i rubbed on almost every medium to large bump/dip
on my koni yellows, i'll only rub when i hit a major dip in the freeway, or big ***
pothole, or doing a sharp turn super fast...or during the sharp turn hitting a bump
haha...but an extreme improvement over my blown shocks.
my drop is H & R sports with 205/50/15 azenis on stock rims.

 

When your car was rubbing was it rubbing in the same spot as mine?

 

yes..the thing was..it was rubbing even worse with 205/55/15 tires (of course)
and my car was more slammed before the springs cuz it had no name brand
adjustable coils..with one side of the treaded body coil thing broken so it was like
more than two inches slammed.
the rubbed off part from your wheel well is JUNIOR compared to mines.
yes it rubbed in the same spot.

 

thanks for the reply! I really apreciated your help.

I guess its time to take out the subs- 2-12inchers...
