Ok, so i am having a problem of my tire hitting the frame (i think) on hills with dips etc. I have no idea why its doing it. i am lowered but it never did it before, i checked and the shocks and springs are fine. In the dips it is like a huge shock (not rubbing) thru out the car, but i know its coming from front driver side. I have a camber kit and have had it since i lowered the car. i am not tucking tire i have about a one finger gap. I have stock shocks and lowering springs. anybody have any idea how to stop this from happening. my tires are 185 65 14 and wheels are +35 offset. if that helps. BTW I HAVEN'T CHANGED ANYTHING
Thanks ahead of time.

 

This is a fail. Your shocks have probably blown out now.

 

What lowering springs?

Are you sure it's your tire hitting and not the camber kits hitting the shock tower?

 

i am actually not sure, now that you say something that makes a little more sense. since it sounds like metal to metal not rubber to metal. because it is am immediate jolt . i would figure tire would have some give......btw i have had this set up for almost 2 years with no blown shocks. like i said its a moderate drop and i have checked to see if they were leaking and if they would decompress when compressed. all seems well.

 

Its probably your upper control arm hitting your shock tower, if you look in your engine bay I bet youll see a dent or hole on your shock tower

 

Take a look at the tire, you will really quick if your having rubber to metal contact.


What springs are they?

 

my car came with oem shocks and shitty lowering springs. around 2 years after i bought it, the front passenger shock completely blew. found a set of stock oem shocks at a junkyard and have been happy ever since. here's a way to test if your shock is blown. go to each wheel and push each shock down and let it come back up. if it bounces several times after it comes up the 1st time, then yeah.. pretty much screwed.

 

most likely the camber arms but then again when I bought my car it was dropped on its nuts on coilovers and riding on 17s and when I had a passenger with me and I would make a sharp turn or a turn onto an uneven road it would scrape the crap out of my fenders

 

i actually went ahead took off the camber kit and put stock equipment back on. no more problem. it seemed to be the arms hitting something inside the fender well. even on the largest dips and bumps nothing. the shocks dont bounce. and i am not lowered enough for a huge camber problem so i am happy with the ride.so thanks everyone for the input.

 

btw could someone explain how to fix that problem in case i want to put it back on? or if there is no way o well lol

 

Noithing without modifying the car, or getting new suspension.

 

Some UCAs are too big and clunky. Which ones were on your car? I know someone makes "smaller" ones but I cannot recall the manufacturer's name right now. Maybe PIC.
